Biography

Dr Yanlu Xing completed his PhD at Monash University in 2019, specialized in Geochemistry and Economic Geology. In 2019-2021, he worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities, USA, where he worked on deep ocean exploration projects (funded by NSF and NASA). From 2021 to 2023, he took the role as the Lead Research Fellow for ARC Linkage Project at the School of Earth, Atmosphere and Environment, Monash University.

Dr Xing is an experienced geologist and geochemist. His research focuses on combining field geology, experimental and computational geochemistry in the study of mineral deposits, applied to mineral exploration and processing. Dr Xing has extensive experience working on multiple types of ore deposits, including Porphyry Cu deposits, Iron Oxide Cu-Au and Orogenic Gold deposits. He is expertized on the application of hydrothermal experiments and geochemical thermodynamic modelling to unravel fluid-mineral reaction mechanisms, identify key ore forming reactions and processes, and apply these to the development of new exploration tools and innovative mineral processing methods.
