During his doctorate, Research Assistant Professor Sun Yao-Chong was mainly engaged in the simulation of seismic wave propagation in complex media. He applied the curvilinear grid finite-difference method to anisotropic media and solid-liquid coupling media and analyzed the influence of topography and seafloor undulation on the seismic wavefield and synthetic theoretical seismogram, which provided a set of high accuracy forward modeling tool for waveform inversion and sea-floor seismic data interpretation. During his postdoctoral period, he also carried out the simulation research of seismo-electromagnetic modeling and the
tsunami wave propagation modeling. So far, he has published nine research papers.

Join us
The Department of Earth and Space Sciences (ESS) at Southern University of Science and Technology was established in December 2016. Prof. Xiaofei Chen, a renowned seismologist and an academician of Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), is appointed as an initiatory departmental head.
The studies in ESS concern the physics of the Earth, geo-space and planets in outer space. Through building up a world-leading program of research and education in Earth and Space Sciences, we strive to conduct the research that would advance our understanding on the complex natural system of Earth and Space, in order to provide science-based solutions to many of the societal challenges of our time: natural hazards, natural energy resources, space exploration, etc. In the meantime, our department offers rigorous hands-on training to students and prepares them to be future leaders in academia, government and industry.
ESS encompasses a wide range of scientific disciplines: Geophysics, Space Physics, Satellite Geodesy and Planetary Science. By the end of October 2019, ESS has thirty-one faculty members, including six professors, four associate professors, eleven assistant professors, and ten research assistant professors, including one Academician of Chinese Academy of Sciences, three Distinguished Young Scholars of National Nature Science Fund, one Excellent Young Scientists of National Science Fund. elcome more talents to join us and work together to build a world-class research and education center for Earth and Space Sciences.
