Biography

I am an Associate Professor and senior assistant at the Guangzhou Institute of Energy Conversion. My research currently focuses mainly on how to understand and quantify the formation and decomposition of gas hydrate-bearing sediments from micro pore- to macro-field scales, including their thermodynamic, kinetic, and mechanical performances. The thermo-hydro-mechanical properties of un- or semi- consolidated gas hydrate soils in labs and the physical and transport processes accompanying deposition in natural gas hydrate sediments have been characterized using experimental and numerical methods. Topics related to gas hydrate, such as unsaturated soil–water–hydrate–gas quality, reservoir descriptions, the response of marine hydrate systems to destabilization, regional carbon cycles, CCS, and corresponding climate change, and so on, are all of my academic interests.
