Archean-Mesoproterozoic Crustal Evolution and Crust-Mantle Geodynamics of Western Liaoning-Northeastern Hebei Provinces, North China Craton

Wei Wang received his Ph.D in June 2014 from the Peking University. His doctoral thesis was nominated as the outstanding doctoral thesis in Peking University. He has gained various awards for the prominent research work, including National Lisiguang Outstanding Doctoral Student (2012, four students/year), and “Top Ten Academic doctoral students” of Peking University (2013). Dr. Wang now works at the China University of Geosciences, Beijing as an Associate Professor. He focuses on two major aspects: (1) Archean continental crust formation and evolution as well as crust-mantle geodynamic processes; and (2) Proterozoic supercontinent reconstruction, and related magmatism and crust-mantle geodynamic processes.
