Early academic pursuits 🎓

Jilei Li's academic journey began at shandong university of science and technology, where he completed his bachelor's degree in 2007. his thesis focused on the petrology and rock types of high-pressure to ultra-high-pressure (hp-uhp) metamorphic belts in the southwest tianshan region. motivated by his growing interest in petrology and geochemistry, jilei pursued a master's degree at the institute of geology and geophysics, chinese academy of sciences (iggc), delving deeper into the study of sulfide-bearing eclogites and related veins. his academic path culminated in a ph.d. at the geozentrum nordbayern, universität erlangen-nürnberg, germany, where his thesis explored the petrology and geochemistry of high-pressure rocks and their interaction with fluids in subduction zones, under the supervision of prof. dr. reiner klemd.

Professional endeavors 🏢

After earning his ph.d., jilei li began his professional career as a postdoctoral researcher at iggcas in 2014. his postdoc years were marked by rigorous research and groundbreaking findings in the field of metamorphic geology. in january 2017, he was promoted to associate professor at iggcas, solidifying his position as a leading expert in petrology and geochemistry. his research focuses on understanding the complex processes of metamorphism and fluid-rock interactions in subduction zones, with a particular emphasis on the southwest tianshan region in china.

Contributions and research focus 🔬

Jilei's research is primarily centered on the petrology and geochemistry of high-pressure rocks, especially those in subduction zones. his work has made significant contributions to understanding how fluids interact with rocks under extreme pressures and temperatures, particularly in the formation of eclogites and related Petrology metamorphic rocks. his research in the southwest tianshan region has provided invaluable insights into the processes that shape subduction zones and their associated rock formations. jilei's meticulous work has enhanced our knowledge of the geological evolution of high-pressure terrains and the role fluids play in their transformation.
