Dr. Jing Fan is a lecturer and director of the Teaching and Research Section in the Emergency Technology and Management Program at Zhaotong University. He holds a Ph.D. in Engineering from Nanjing University and completed his postdoctoral research at Kunming University of Science and Technology. Dr. Fan also serves as a master’s supervisor at Yunnan University of Finance and Economics and Yunnan Agricultural University. He is a recipient of Zhaotong City’s "Xingzhao Talent Support Program" for youth scholars and was recognized as one of the city's "Top Ten Science Communication Ambassadors." Additionally, he is an academic leader in geological disaster research for the Zhaotong Fire and Rescue Division. His research focuses on disaster mechanisms and mitigation strategies in geological and hydrological systems, particularly rock fracture behavior, structural model evolution, and water-conducting properties in complex geological settings. He is currently leading multiple research projects, including studies on structural plane connectivity in landslide-prone rock masses and multi-factor disaster-pregnancy mechanisms in the Jinsha River Basin, funded by provincial research programs in Yunnan.

Meiliya Yusufujiang is currently a graduate student at the School of Law, Tongji University, specializing in digital law, artificial intelligence law, and intellectual property law. She graduated from the International Program for Outstanding Legal Talents at Nanjing University, one of China’s first training bases for foreign-related legal professionals, where she completed her undergraduate studies entirely in English. Meiliya has published several academic articles in reputable journals such as China Emergency Rescue and the Nanjing Lawyers Association Journal, covering topics including cross-regional disaster governance and legal information retrieval systems. She holds five intellectual property rights, including invention patents and software copyrights, and is certified in drone operation. During her tenure at Zhaotong University, she taught courses such as Emergency Management Law and Regulations, College English, and Ideological and Legal Foundations while also mentoring students in academic writing and postgraduate entrance exam preparation. Since 2023, she has led a public-interest training program for postgraduate English exams, helping 18 students gain admission to graduate programs. As a class advisor for the China Rural CEO Program, she has actively participated in rural fieldwork and contributed to local revitalization initiatives.

Professor Shunchuan Wu is a second-level professor and doctoral supervisor, currently serving as Dean of the Faculty of Land and Resources Engineering at Kunming University of Science and Technology. Professor Wu is the director of the Key Laboratory for Forecasting and Early Warning of Plateau Mountain Geological Hazards and Ecological Restoration, jointly designated by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Yunnan Province. He holds multiple leadership roles in national and provincial academic societies, including the Chinese Society for Rock Mechanics and Engineering, the China Civil Engineering Society, and the Yunnan Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering. He has been recognized with prestigious national titles such as Distinguished Professor of the “National Major Talent Project,” recipient of the “New Century Talents Project,” and beneficiary of the State Council Special Government Allowance. His research spans mining engineering, rock mechanics, geotechnical disaster prevention, underground space stability, and numerical modeling. He has led over 10 national and provincial research projects and more than 100 enterprise-funded engineering projects, publishing over 300 SCI/EI-indexed papers, authoring 9 academic books, and receiving more than 20 scientific awards, including two State Science and Technology Progress Awards.

Guoping Du is a professor-level senior engineer and currently serves as the technical director of Nanjing Emperor-Dam Engineering Technology Co., Ltd. He is a recognized expert in hydraulic engineering inspection, with a particular focus on the research and application of high-precision sonar seepage detection technologies. Mr. Du has played a key role in the development of national industry standards, including serving as the lead drafter of the Technical Specification for Sonar-Based Leakage Detection in Underwater Engineering and as the chief contributor to the Sonar Detection Standard for Groundwater Seepage. His innovations include the invention of a high-precision deepwater leakage detection sonar array and 3D flow field analysis system, which has been successfully deployed in major projects such as the Baiyun Dam in Hunan and more than ten other high dams. He also developed the patented 3D Flow Velocity Vector Energy and Mass Measurement Device, along with low-flow sonar detection methods that significantly improve seepage point localization in reservoirs. As a corporate technical lead, Mr. Du has contributed to major deepwater grouting and leakage control projects in Cambodia, Xinjiang, and Chongqing, and serves as a board member of the China Diving and Salvage Industry Association, promoting technical collaboration within the field.

Liang Chen is the Executive Director and Party Secretary of CNNC Geological Technology Co., Ltd., appointed in July 2023, and formerly served as Deputy Director of the Beijing Research Institute of Uranium Geology. He is a leading expert in China’s high-level radioactive waste (HLW) geological disposal program and was honored as one of the “Most Beautiful Science and Technology Workers” in 2020. Dr. Chen earned his bachelor's degree in civil engineering from Xi’an Technological University in 1999, his master’s degree from Tongji University, and his Ph.D. in engineering from the University of Lille and École Centrale de Nantes in France in 2009. Inspired by senior leadership at BRIUG, he returned to China in 2011 to dedicate himself to nuclear waste disposal research. He played a pivotal role in foundational fieldwork at the Beishan site, spending over 200 consecutive days conducting core fracture logging and joint surveys. As chief commander of the Beishan underground exploration project, he led a young team to complete major engineering and testing tasks in extreme Gobi conditions, establishing China’s first safety framework for HLW underground labs. He has published nearly 20 SCI/EI papers, holds five national patents, and has led key national research projects.
