Hello there. I'm Xiaoliang Zheng, a professor and doctoral supervisor at Anhui University of Science and Technology—my alma mater, as it happens, where I completed my own PhD back in 2018. My work rather focuses on practical safety and monitoring technologies, with a particular interest in detection systems, early-warning mechanisms, and applying machine learning to industrial challenges. I've had the pleasure of leading several research programmes, including one for the National Key R&D Plan, mostly tackling rather pressing issues like coal mine gas safety and underground pipeline monitoring. On that front, I've published a bit—thirty or so papers in SCI and EI journals—and been involved in securing a handful of international and domestic patents. I was also rather chuffed that our team's effort on mine air purification was recognised with a top award from the China National Coal Association. I'm always happy to have a chat about potential collaborations. Do feel free to drop me an email.
