Dr. Xiaoguang Wang

Xiaoguang Wang is a Professor of Geoenergy at Chengdu University of Technology (CDUT, China) and Director of Geothermal Energy Research Center at the Tianfu Yongxing Laboratory (China). He earned his PhD from the Department of Earth Science and Engineering, Imperial College London (ICL, UK). Before joining CDUT, he was a researcher at the University of Montpellier (CNRS-Hydrosciences Montpellier, France).

His research group specializes in quantitative hydrogeology and geomechanics, integrating laboratory experiment, field characterization and numerical modeling to understand coupled processes in fractured and porous rocks. Their work is dedicated to addressing critical challenges in the areas of geoenergy and the environment, including geothermal energy development, geological carbon sequestration, subsurface energy storage and induced seismicity
