I am a geologist and a big fan of 'numerical computing' and 'spatiotemporal analytics and visualization' for geosciences. Recently I focus on paleomagnetism and plate kinematics.


Research

Current Project

Global Plate Reconstructions using Paleomagnetism

For my M.S. in Kent State's Geology program, it is an honor to have Dr Daniel Holm, Dr Joseph Ortiz and Dr Chris Rowan in my thesis committee. Here is an abstract submitted to 2015 AGU Fall Meeting (click to view the poster). Updates will be constantly posted on my GitHub.

Old Projects

2015-2017: Spaciotemporal Analysis and Visualization of Prison Data from S-21 Security-Center, Cambodia (1975-1978)

For my 2015 summer and fall research project, I am honored to have worked with Dr Xinyue Ye and Dr James Tyner. Here are our peer-reviewed publications: paper2017 and paper2016.

2010-2012: Petroleum and Plate Tectonic History of the Tarim Basin (NW China)

My Master's advisor Dr Jianghai Li and his research team supervised me on this topic.

2007-2009: Petroleum, Seismic Interpretation of Structures and Sedimentary History of the Liaodong Bay, Bohai Basin (NE China)

This is the topic for my undergraduate research. My advisor Dr Renchen Xin supervised me writing this thesis.
