Prof. Yongxian Zhang, head of the Division of Short-term Earthquake Forecasting, Institute of Earthquake Forecasting, China Earthquake Administration; Deputy chair of the APEC Cooperation for Earthquake Science; Committee member of China Seismological Society.
She studied Geophysics in Peking University during 1984-1988. She got her master’s degree from the Center for Analysis of Prediction, China Earthquake Administration in 1991, and received her doctorate from the Institute of Geophysics, China Earthquake Administration in 1999. She visited UC Davis of USA as a senior visiting scholar in 2012.
Her study interests are model of seismogenic process, seismicity pattern, mechanics of earthquake anomaly, synthetic method of earthquake prediction, etc. She has published about 100 papers (more than 20 of them are in English).
She has been a practitioner of earthquake forecasting in China for about 27 years since 1991. She won several national awards in China such as National Excellent Scientist from China Association for Science and Technology, Special allowance of the State Council of China, etc.
