BIOGRAPHY

I am Yong Zheng, born in August 1978 in Guangshan County, Henan Province. I am a Professor and Ph.D. supervisor at the China University of Geosciences (Wuhan). I enrolled at the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) in 1995, where he earned my Bachelor's degree in 1999 and his Ph.D. in 2005.

I began my professional career at the Institute of Geophysics, China Earthquake Administration, before moving to the Institute of Geodesy and Geophysics (IGG), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) in 2008 as an Associate Professor. I was promoted to Professor at IGG, CAS, a position he held from January 2013 to January 2017. Since February 2017, I have been a "CUG Scholar" Distinguished Professor at the China University of Geosciences (Wuhan).

I am a recipient of the Excellent Young Scientists Fund from the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC), the Lu Jiaxi Young Talent Award from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the Hubei Provincial Distinguished Young Scientist Fund. My work has been recognized with the Second Prize of the Hubei Provincial Natural Science Award in 2016 and the Second Prize for Scientific and Technological Achievements in Earthquake Prevention and Disaster Reduction by the China Earthquake Administration in 2018. I serve on the editorial boards for several academic journals, including Science China Earth Sciences, Science Bulletin, Journal of Geodesy and Geodynamics, and Earthquake Science, and have been repeatedly honored as an outstanding editor.

RESEARCH INTERESTS & CONTRIBUTIONS

For many years, My main research has focused on seismic waveform modeling, earthquake source properties, seismic hazard analysis, and subsurface structures. My key contributions include:

• Obtaining reliable, high-precision velocity      structures of the crust and upper mantle in Northeast and North China.

• Discovering distinct rupture mechanisms between the      northern and southern segments of the Shanxi Rift Valley.

• Quantitatively determining the impact of a specific      noise source in Kyushu, Japan, on ambient noise imaging across mainland      China and its surrounding regions.

In recent years, following major earthquakes such as the Ludian, Yushu, Chile, and Nepal events, I have conducted extensive research on their source properties, fault locking, and seismic hazards. I developed joint inversion methods that integrate geodetic and seismological data, leading to significant advances in understanding earthquake rupture processes, Coulomb stress fields, and seismic risks. The methods and programs I developed have been integrated into the routine operational systems of the China Earthquake Administration. My special reports following the Wenchuan and Lushan earthquakes were adopted by the General Office of the CPC Central Committee, the General Office of the State Council, and the China Earthquake Administration's consultation meetings, playing a crucial role in earthquake disaster relief efforts.

FUNDING & PROJECTS

I secured funding for five General Program grants, one Young Scientists Fund grant, and one Excellent Young Scientists Fund grant from the NSFC. As a core member, I have contributed to an NSFC Innovative Research Group project. I am an outstanding member of the CAS Youth Innovation Promotion Association and served as the leader of the CAS "1-3-5" key project "Studies in Seismic Geodesy" and as the chief scientist for a "1-2-3" key breakthrough direction at IGG, CAS.

PUBLICATIONS

I authored over 100 SCI-indexed papers. Among these, I am the first or corresponding author on more than 50 papers published in high-impact journals such as Nature Communications Earth & Environment, Journal of Geophysical Research (JGR), Geophysical Journal International (GJI), Tectonophysics, and Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America (BSSA). My work has been cited over 3,000 times in SCI-indexed literature.
