Biography

I am Dr. Jianwei Cheng, currently serving as a professor in the College of Safety Engineering at China University of Mining and Technology (CUMT). My journey in academia began with obtaining a B.S. and an M.S. in Safety Engineering and Mining Engineering, respectively, from CUMT. Later, I pursued further studies abroad, earning my Ph.D. from West Virginia University in the United States. My academic background also includes an associate degree in Computer Science and Engineering from CUMT. As a licensed Engineer-In-Training in the State of West Virginia, U.S., I bring a diverse skill set to my role at CUMT.

My research interests lie in various aspects of mine safety, including coal mine ventilation system design, accident rescue strategies, and mine gas explosion prevention. I have had the privilege of leading several research projects funded by both Chinese government bodies and private companies. Active involvement in professional societies like the Society for Mining, Metallurgy, and Exploration (SME) and the International Association for Fire Safety Science (IAFSS) has enriched my academic journey. Over the years, I have been honored with numerous awards recognizing my contributions to the mining and safety sectors, both nationally and provincially in China. Additionally, I have served as a reviewer and editor for over a hundred international journals, contributing to the dissemination of research findings in my field. My international collaborations include a research fellowship in Australia, where I collaborated with researchers from Curtin University on a significant project.

Overall, my academic and professional journey reflects my commitment to advancing safety practices in the mining industry through research, education, and collaboration.
