Dr. Zengqian Hou wasborn in 1961 and elected as the academician of Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2017. He has been a senior research geologist at Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences (CAGS) for the
past 25 years, since obtaining his M.S. (1985) and Ph.D.(1988) degrees in economic geology from China University of Geosciences (Beijing), China. During that time, he has conducted his post-doctoral research on the modern seafloor hydrothermal processes and mineralization in Geological Survey of Japan (1993-1994) and been then involved with the government-funded mineral resource program in southwestern China. He was in charge of 2 national 973 projects on “metallogenesis of the Tibetan Collisional Orogen (2003-2008)” and “Continental Assembly and Related Metallogenesis in Tibet (2011-2015)”. He is a chief scientist for a national project on “Lithosphere Architecture and Mineral Systems in Himalaya” (2017-2020). He is currently the vice president of NDFC with charging in Departments of Earth Science and Management Science.
