Research Interest
I have been engaged in geological engineering works for many years. My research focuses on geological hazards and prevention projects, as well as evaluation of engineering properties in the process of rock weathering. As the principal investigator, I take charge three National Natural Science Foundation projects related to the black shale weathering, which involves bedding oxidation-etching characteristics and instability mechanism of black shale slope. In addition, I conducted some research related to evaluation of slope stability, risk of tunnel gushing. Some related papers were published in the journals such as Applied Geochemistry, Geosciences Journal, Chemie der Erde, et al.
