Chengcheng received his bachelor’s degree in Geological Engineering from Nanjing University (NJU), China. He is currently pursuing his PhD degree under the supervision of Prof. Bin Shi at NJU, with a focus on distributed fiber-optic sensing of land deformation and geologic hazards (landslides, land subsidence, ground rupture, etc.). He has been involved in several fiber optics-based projects in China, e.g., the monitoring of reservoir-induced landslides in the Three Georges Reservoir region and groundwater-related land subsidence in the lower Yangtze River basin. He is the recipient of the Siguang Li Award for Outstanding Students.
Chengcheng is currently a visiting student researcher in the GeoSystems Engineering group at the University of California, Berkeley, where he is working on fiber-optic monitoring of ground deformation under the supervision of Prof. Kenichi Soga.
