About Me
I am a PhD candidate in Geological Resources and Geological Engineering at China University of Geosciences (Wuhan), and currently undertaking a one-year visiting research stay at the University of Lausanne. My research interests focus on 3D geological modelling, especially the development of multiple-point geostatistics (MPS) algorithms for reliable geostatistical simulation under non-stationary and heterogeneous conditions. Furthermore, I work on practical applications of MPS for subsurface characterisation, with a particular focus on hydrocarbon reservoirs. I am also interested in AI-based geological modelling.
