Zhiyuan He (PhD, MSc, B.Eng), born in Fujian on October 1993, is a structural geologist and thermochronologist. He earned a Bachelor of Engineering (majoring in Geology) in 2015 and a Master of Science (majoring in Structural Geology) in 2018 at Nanjing University. He studies lithospheric and crustal deformation of the orogenic belt by using structural analysis and thermochronological dating methods. He is also interested in surface processes such as erosion, sedimentation, and transport, and the thermal structure of the upper crust. For the last six years he has worked on the geology of the Central Asia (Tianshan, Junggar and Altai), southern Tibet (Gangdese belt - Yarlung-Zangpo), southeastern Tibet (Three-River region), and West Kunlun mountain. He has published more than 20 research articles in peer-reviewed journals.
