Prof. Qinxi Dong

Shandong Jiaotong University, China

Biography:

Qinxi Dong, male, born in 1962, a native of Lanling, Shandong Province, is a professor at Shandong Jiaotong University. He graduated with a bachelor's degree in Solid Mechanics from the School of Astronautics, Beijing Institute of Technology in 1986, and earned a master's degree in Computational Mechanics from the same school in 1989. From May 1989 to February 1995, he engaged in teaching and research at Beijing Institute of Technology. In 1997, he obtained his Doctor of Science degree in Computational Mechanics from the University of Innsbruck, Austria. He has long been dedicated to research on supercomputing algorithms and large-scale structural data storage in high-performance computing environments. He developed a proprietary supercomputing support software platform, successfully applying his research achievements to analysis and simulation in earthquake engineering, engineering geology, fluid mechanics, advanced manufacturing, and the formation and function of novel composite materials. His work resulted in a complete suite of engineering application systems including supercomputing algorithm optimization, supercomputing software support, and big data analysis. The supercomputing software he developed has become one of the indispensable support tools in the fields of disaster prevention and mitigation engineering and composite material simulation in Japan. It has made significant impact, generating considerable economic value and profits, and has received positive international recognition. Since 2017, he has been a specially appointed expert of the Ministry of Education’s Chunhui Program for Overseas Doctoral Experts. In 2019, he was elected as a Foreign Member of the Japan Engineering Academy.

Prof. Zhipeng Li

Shandong Jiaotong University, China

Biography:

Zhipeng Li, Ph.D., Professor, and Acting Associate Dean of the School of Transportation and Civil Engineering, is a Taishan Scholar Young Expert and leader of a youth innovation team in Shandong Province. He serves on several professional committees, including the Technical Committee of the World Transportation Congress and the Tunnel and Underground Engineering Branch of the China Civil Engineering Society. He is a young editorial board member for journals such as the Journal of Chang’an University (Natural Science Edition). He has led multiple national and provincial research projects, including those funded by the National Key R&D Program and the National Natural Science Foundation of China. As first or corresponding author, he has published over 30 high-level papers, authored one monograph, and holds more than 20 invention patents. In 2024, he ranked among the top 5% of highly cited scholars in China according to CNKI. His research focuses on disaster prevention in tunnels and underground engineering under complex geological conditions. He developed long-term design methods for tunnel disaster control, new grouting reinforcement materials for hydraulic environments, and efficient disaster mitigation equipment. These innovations have been successfully applied in over 30 major projects, including metro systems in Qingdao, Jinan, and Nanjing, and highways in Shandong and Jiangxi provinces. His work has earned two Shandong Provincial Science and Technology Progress Second-Class Awards, one First-Class Award from the China Highway Society, and a Second-Class Science and Technology Progress Award from Qingdao City.
