Dr. Wei Zhang is an Associate Researcher and master's supervisor at the School of Earth Resources, China University of Geosciences (Wuhan), China. He received his B.Sc. in Geology (2006) and M.Sc. in Structural Geology (2009) from China University of Geosciences (Beijing), and his Ph.D. from the University of New Brunswick, Canada (2015). He worked as a postdoctoral researcher and geologist before joining CUG (Wuhan) in 2017. His research focuses on magmatic-hydrothermal processes and granite-related W-Sn-Nb-Ta-Li mineralization, with additional interests in orogenic gold and skarn W-Fe deposits. He integrates mineral textures, in situ geochemistry and geochronology to investigate metal enrichment and ore formation. His studies include the Zhuxi W-Cu deposit, Li-mineralized granites and aplites at Yifeng, and the Nashwaak and Sisson Brook granitic systems in Canada. He manages the cold-cathodoluminescence laboratory at the Collaborative Innovation Center for Exploration of Strategic Mineral Resources. His research has received support through the Society of Economic Geologists Canada Foundation Research Grant Award (2011) and the George Frederic Matthew Research Grants (2010).
