Xiaowei Feng
Associate Professor, School of Mines, China University of Mining and Technology, Xuzhou, China.
Xiaowei Feng received his Ph.D. in Mining Engineering from China University of Mining and Technology (CUMT) in 2017. He worked as a Visiting Scholar (2021‑2022) and Visiting Professor (Sep‑Dec 2024) at Politecnico di Milano, Italy. His primary research interests cover rock mechanics, laser‑rock interaction, rock bolting and surrounding‑rock control, 3D‑printing‑aided physical modelling for geotechnical‑mining problems, as well as geohazard prediction including subglacial‑volcanic‑triggered glacial outburst floods.
He has published more than 30 peer‑reviewed journal articles in journals such as Journal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, International Journal of Rock Mechanics and Mining Sciences, Composites Part B: Engineering, Construction and Building Materials, etc. His recent work published in Journal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (2026) established a laser‑irradiation laboratory simulation method to reproduce magma‑ice interactions, revealing precursors for forecasting volcanic‑glacier deluge hazards. He also holds over 20 authorized invention patents (including one Australian patent) related to mining support, monitoring instruments, 3D‑printed geotechnical specimens and laser‑based rock evaluation.
Dr. Feng teaches undergraduate and postgraduate courses in mining‑related disciplines (in both Chinese and English). He has delivered numerous oral presentations at international conferences across Poland, Russia, Japan, Norway, South Korea and Italy. He has presided over the National Natural Science Foundation of China Youth Project, multiple post‑doctoral grants and university research funds, and participated in a series of national‑level research projects. He maintains close research collaboration with European scholars and has accumulated rich on‑site engineering experience in coal mines in China and overseas.
