Brief Experences

During 1978 - 1982, he studied in atmospheric physics specialty at the meteorology department, Nanjing University, and obtained his science bachelor’s degree.
During 1982-1985, he studied in China Scientific and Technical University Graduate School as a graduate student, and attained his master's degree in atmospheric physics specialty.
During 1994-1996, he went to the Center for Global and Regional and Environmental Research (CGRER), the University of Iowa, USA, to conduct visiting research on the field of atmospheric environment.
From 1996 to the present, he has been successively appointed an associate professor and a professor for the Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences. Successively he holds the post of deputy director in the Department of Micro- and Macroscale Meteorology and Disaster Research and then in the Laboratory of Cloud-Precipitation Physics and Severe Storms, Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences. He was a member of the 24th and 25th session of the Committee of Atmospheric Physics of Chinese Meteorological Society. Presently he holds a concurrent post of the professor of Graduate University of Chinese Academy of Sciences.

He also organized to complete a national key scientific and technological project entitled "Study on hail suppression and disaster reduction technology". He managed and completed a modification project of transforming a 305-model X/C dual-band military radar system into a digitized weather radar and obtained a new criterion of hailstorm identification. This new criterion has been adopted by the Chinese meteorological Bureau in "The Practical Standard of Hail Suppression and Rain Enhancement Operation by Anti-hail-destroying Artillery" (in 2000). And the new criterion was promoted and applied to related departments of the whole nation as an important technique of hailstorm identification.

Since 1999, he has also managed a sub-project on the research of cloud physical processes of meso-scale rainstorm, under the National "973" Key Scientific Research Project: China Rainstorm Research Project. During the period from 2000 to 2005, he managed a national key scientific research sub-project on evaluation technology of the effect of artificial rainfall enhancement. Under support of the national key scientific and technological Project "The Scientific Olympic Games ", he managed the research sub-project on forecast of hazardous strong convection weather during summer time in Beijing. Recently, he has managed and completed the manufacture of a truck-borne X-band new-generation multi-parameters meteorological radar system under a support of Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Large Instrumentation Development Project.

He has successively won twice the second prize of the Chinese Academy of Science’s Natural Sciences Prize, one is for the project entitled The Modeling Simulation of Cloud and Precipitation in the year 1989 and the another is for the project entitled The Research on Atmospheric Transport of Acidity Substance in the Region of Asia and China in the year 1997. He also won a second prize of the Shaanxi Province Technological Prize entitled The Research on Hail Suppression and Disaster Reduction Technology and Its Extending Application in North Shaanxi Province in the year 2004. In 2006, he won the first prize on Research and Development of Chinese Meteorological Bureau in a title “Research on integrated technology of artificial rainfall enhancement and its Demonstration”. He also honored a title in the national outstanding scientific and technical youth working in the field of meteorology in 1990. In 1999 he won a scientific and technological award from "Study and Sincere Wind" Prize (specially founded by the outstanding scientist, Professor Duzheng YE) of the Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

He has successively published more than 50 papers in the domestic and foreign journals with three papers in SCI, and he has published more than 20 papers in the international scientific conference on the fields of atmospheric environment, cloud and precipitation physics.
