Dr Deru Xu, Dean and Professor, School of Earth Sciences of ECUT. Prof. Xu obtained his master degree in Structural Geology from the Changsha Institute of Geotectonics, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) in 1992, and his PhD in Geochemistry from the Institute of Geochemistry, CAS, in 2004. He has been working on continental margin tectonics and its associated uranium-polymetal metallogeny, orefield structures, and resources prediction. From 1999 to 2018, he served as the Research Professor and vice Director of the Key Laboratory of Mineralogy and Metallogeny in Guangzhou Institute of Geochemistry, CAS. He moved to ECUT in June 2018 and was appointed as the Dean of School of Earth Sciences of ECUT. Since 2014, he has been also the Chairman of the Commission on Tectonics of Ore Deposits (CTOD) of the International Association on Genesis of Ore Deposits (IAGOD). And in November 2018, he was appointed as the Deputy Editor-in-Chief of Ore Geology Reviews.
