معرفی
Mingming Li is an Associate Professor in the School of Earth and Space Exploration at Arizona State University (ASU). His research focuses on geodynamics and seismology, using numerical simulations to investigate Earth's structure and dynamics, with particular interest in mantle dynamics and planetary evolution. He holds a Ph.D. in Geodynamics from ASU (2015), an M.S. in Seismology from the Chinese Academy of Sciences (2010), and a B.S. in Geophysics from Yunnan University (2007).
His expertise spans geodynamics, seismology, and geophysics, with recent work emphasizing the core-mantle boundary, mantle plumes, and subduction processes. Key research questions include understanding how mantle dynamics influence surface geological features and how different planets evolve. He employs advanced geodynamic modeling, seismic anisotropy analysis, and mineral physics experiments to address these questions.
Recent publications highlight investigations into ultra-low velocity zones (ULVZs), mantle flow dynamics, and the origins of seismic heterogeneities. His work bridges observational seismology, mineral physics, and computational geodynamics to advance understanding of Earth's deep interior processes. Research has implications for planetary formation models and the cycling of materials through Earth's mantle.
