Research Interests
My research has focused on active tectonics, earthquake geology, tectonic geomorphology and their impact in engineering geology. Recently, I have used interdisciplinary methods such as field geological mapping and landform survey, interpretation of high-resolution images, paleoseismic trenching, Quaternary dating (Radiocarbon, OSL, Nuclide etc.,) and low-temperature thermochronology to study active fault deformation process, rupture behavior of large earthquakes and mountain building of the Tibetan Plateau. Moreover, I would use the abovementioned methods to solve related engineering geologic problems in high-speed railway, hydropower station, tunnel, urban planning, etc.
