1. Personal Profile

Lei Kang, Ph.D., Associate Professor, Master's Supervisor. From 2005 to 2009, I received my bachelor's degree in geology from Northwest University, and from 2009 to 2015, I received his Ph.D. degree in geology, Northwest University.

My main research interests are the distribution and transport of water in the deep part of the earth, the phase transformation and partial melting of minerals in the continental subduction zone, and the main research methods are high-temperature and high-pressure experiments (large-cavity presses) based on the observation of natural samples, phase equilibrium calculations and numerical simulations.
