Prof. You Tian is a professor in the School of Earth Exploration Science and Technology at Jilin University. He obtained his bachelor’s degree in applied geophysics from Jilin University in 2003 and his Ph.D. in solid geophysics from the Institute of Geology and Geophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2008. From 2006 to 2007, he studied seismic tomography methods and theories at Ehime University, Japan. In 2007, he studied seismological methods to study the deep structure of the Earth at Tohoku University, Japan. In 2008, he joined Jilin University. He mainly engaged in seismic tomography theory and geodynamics research. He participated in a National Natural Science Foundation Key Project and CAS Knowledge Innovation Project “The fine structure of the lithosphere in the Yinshan orogenic belt in eastern China and deep dynamic processes” and a National Science and Technology Support Program Project “Research on the location field (gravity and magnetic) characteristics and crust-mantle structure of the 8.0 Wenchuan earthquake”.
