Fuhao Xiong received his PhD degree in Geology from the China University of Geosciences (wuhan) in 2014. He worked as Professor at Chengdu University of Technology (2014–now). His research topics mainly focus on the mineralogy, petrology, geochemistry and geochronology of igneous rocks in the Tethyan orogenic belts, East Asian, to constrain their petrogenesis and tectonic implications. These studies also help to understand the fate of the subducted slab, the generation of continental crust, and crust–mantle interactions.
