Personal Profile

Yang Jingsui, professor, doctoral supervisor, and academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. 

Born in Hangzhou City in June 1950, a native of Zhejiang Province. He graduated from the Department of Geological Exploration at Changchun College of Geology in 1977 and was subsequently assigned to the Institute of Geology at the Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences. 

From 1986 to 1994, he studied in Canada, where he earned his PhD from Dalhousie University and completed a two-year postdoctoral fellowship. After returning to China in 1994, he resumed work at the Institute of Geology, where he was promoted to Research Fellow in 1995 and became a PhD supervisor in 1999. 

In 2017, he was elected an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. He has held positions including Director of the Basic and Ultramafic Rock Research Department, Director of the Igneous Rock Department, and Deputy Director of the Institute of Geology in charge of scientific research (1998–2000). He also served as Director of the Key Laboratory of Continental Dynamics, Ministry of Land and Resources, and Executive Deputy Director of the State Key Laboratory of Continental Tectonics and Dynamics. Currently, he holds various concurrent positions, including Director of the Rock Subcommittee of the Geological Society of China, Executive Director of the China Society of Tibetan Plateau Research, Vice Chairman of the Chinese National Committee for the International Continental Scientific Drilling Program (ICDP), and Editor-in-Chief or Deputy Editor-in-Chief of journals such as Acta Geologica Sinica.
