Education

2005.09-2009.06: BSc majoring in Economic Geology, Faculty of Earth Resources, China University of Geosciences (Wuhan). The BSc thesis is entitled “geochronology and geochemistry of the Mogou alkaline syenite complex in the southern margin of the North China Craton, with implications for regional Mo mineralization”.
