On September 20, at the invitation of Professor Chen Jiubin, Professor Huang from University of Science and Technology of China came to SESS for academic exchanges and gave a talk on "Opportunities and Challenges for Metal Stable Isotopes".
Huang Fang, the winner of the National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars(2013), is the head of the Research Department of the University of Science and Technology of China, and the associate editor of the academic journal Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta. He received a bachelor and master degree in geochemistry from the University of Science and Technology of China in 1999 and 2002, a Ph.D. degree in geology from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) in 2007, and subsequently conduct post-doctoral research in the Department of Geology at UIUC, IGP and ETH. In March 2011, he returned to USTC to teach in geochemistry. Huang won the 14th Hou Defeng Young Scientist Award in Mineral, Petrology and Geochemistry, the Sun Xianjie Award in 2012, the 2016 Young Scientist Award from the Ministry of Education and the second prize of the 2nd USTC Young Teacher Fundamental Skills Competition. Mainly engaging in the research of the geochemistry about metal stable isotopes, experimental petrology and uranium-series imbalance, Huang made a series of original achievements in the method system and application of metal stable isotopes, the distribution coefficient of trace elements between minerals and melts, and the mechanism of magma action in the subduction zone. Many of his articles as first-author or corresponding-author have been published in leading domestic and foreign journals, such as Nature, EPSL, GCA, Geology, Chemical Geology, and Chinese Science Bulletin.
