Congratulation! Professor Ji Hongguang was elected as a foreign member of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences!

President of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences (RAEN) Kuznetsov and Chief Academic Secretary L.V. Ivanitskaya sent a certificate and congratulatory letter to Professor Ji Hongguang.Congratulations on his election as a foreign member of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences.

The Russian Academy of Natural Sciences (RAEN), founded in 1990, accredited by the United Nations in 1995 and granted NGO status by the United Nations in 2002, is one of the three highest cross-sectoral academic authorities in Russia. Its members are scientists and experts who have made significant achievements in the field of natural sciences and humanities and who have had significant academic influence. The Academy has 24 academic departments, 18 Nobel laureates, more than 270 members of the Russian Academy of Sciences, and more than 30 members of the Russian National Academy of Medical Sciences. Foreign members of the Academy of Sciences include distinguished scientists from 48 countries around the world, including a number of Chinese members of both academies.

The election of additional members of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences requires a comprehensive examination of the candidates' academic achievements and their influence, as well as their status in the relevant fields, through the process of academicians' recommendation, material review, understanding inspection, expert defense, departmental voting and consideration by the Presidium, etc. After several rounds of strict academic evaluation and selection procedures, the final evaluation by the Presidium of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences was determined. In view of Professor Ji Hongguang's outstanding achievements and academic contributions in the fields of deep mine construction, deep resource development and deep mining power disaster prevention and control, the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences finally selected him as a foreign member of the Department of Mining and Metallurgy.

Dr. Ji Hongguang is a professor, PhD, PhD supervisor, a leading scholar of the North Scientist Talent Program, and an expert of the State Council government subsidy. He is currently the Executive Vice President of the Institute of Deep Earth Rock Science of University of Science and Technology Beijing, the Director of Beijing Key Laboratory of Urban Underground Space Engineering, the Deputy Director of National Engineering Research Center of Mining Deep Well Construction Technology, and the leader of the National 13th Five-Year Plan Key Research Project.

He is also the director of China Rock Mechanics and Engineering Society, director of China Coal Society, vice chairman of China Rock Mechanics and Engineering Society Deep Earth Space Exploration and Development Branch, executive director of China Rock Mechanics and Engineering Society Underground Space Branch and Mining Rock Mechanics Branch, member of China Rock Mechanics and Engineering Society Earthquake and Crustal Stress Professional Committee, member of China Coal Society Mine Construction and Geotechnical Engineering Professional Committee, and executive director of China Engineering Blasting Association. Member of the Committee of Mine Construction and Geotechnical Engineering of China Coal Society, Executive Director of China Engineering Blasting Association, etc.

Professor Ji has long been devoted to scientific research and teaching in the fields of mining rock mechanics, deep mine construction, deep mining power disaster prevention and control, and deep underground space development. He has been awarded 3 National Science and Technology Progress Second Class Awards, 2 Provincial and Ministerial Science and Technology Progress Special Awards, 4 First Class Awards, and more than 10 Provincial and Ministerial Science and Technology Progress Second Class Awards. He has been granted more than 20 national invention patents. He has published more than 150 papers in domestic and international academic journals and academic conferences. He has published 4 academic monographs. He has trained more than 150 doctoral and master students.

As a project leader in the research of the theory and technology of deep shaft construction in metal mines, he undertook the National 13th Five-Year Plan Key R&D Project "Key Technology of Deep Metal Mine Construction and Lifting". He has led the research team for more than six years to collaborate on the two technical bottlenecks of deep shaft construction and large tonnage high-speed hoisting in the process of deep resource development. In view of the characteristics of hard rock stratum and complex conditions in metal mine, we have broken through a series of key technical problems of deep shaft construction, established the basic theory of engineering risk control and rapid shaft formation for deep shaft construction in metal mine, and formed the technical system of shaft construction and supporting equipment of shaft formation process for metal mine deeper than 1500m. In response to the demand for hoisting capacity for large-scale mining in deep metal mines, the key technical bottleneck of 8-rope friction type large-tonnage hoisting device was solved, and the technical system of design, manufacturing capacity and reliability guarantee of large-tonnage high-speed hoisting system for 1500m deep shafts was formed. Relying on the demonstration project, the deepest shaft project in Asia with a depth of 1551.8m was built, achieving for the first time in the world the lifting capacity of 7.5 million tons/year for a single shaft and a single hoisting system with a depth of 1500m.

He has led his team to achieve many innovative results in deep formation variability and its characterization, physical and mechanical properties of weakly cemented formations and their variability, large-diameter drilling construction technology for deep alluvial formations, and large-diameter deep well construction and rock control technology for deep large-span chambers (groups) in weakly cemented formations in the west.

In the research on the theory and technology of deep mining induced mine seismic, rock explosion and impact ground pressure, he has undertaken and completed the research on mine seismic problems in Huotai coal mine in Fushun City, the key project of National 863 Program "Dynamic monitoring and risk analysis technology of deep shaft rock explosion disaster" and the project of National 973 Program He has completed the research work of "Basic research on the mechanism and prevention of dynamic disaster in deep coal mining". Aiming at the breeding and triggering mechanism of deep mining impact pressure disaster and its early warning technology, based on the key projects of National Natural Science Foundation of China, he has led the team to carry out continuous research work on the breeding and triggering mechanism of deep mining dynamic disaster and its monitoring and analysis technology, and the theory and technology of hazard area identification and early warning of deep mining dynamic disaster. The research focuses on the multi-scale synergistic mechanism between deep mining disturbance zone, disturbance-related zone and impact core zone, and the "multi-field" coupling mechanism between mining disturbance, regional stress field and related physical fields. We have made groundbreaking progress and important breakthroughs in the formation mechanism, triggering mechanism, precursor characteristics, and the basic theory, method and technology of advance warning for large-scale impact pressure and mine seismic disasters in deep mining mines.
