Resume:

Dr. Wu Chao mainly engaged in porphyry copper-gold-molybdenum deposit metallogenic mechanism and exploration research work, including metallogenic model and large regional ore-controlling factors analysis. He presided over or participated in the research of the National Natural Science Youth Fund, the key research and development projects of the Ministry of Science and Technology, the strategic pilot project of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the 973 project of the Ministry of Science and Technology. At present, he has published 10 SCI papers as first author or corresponding author. He was invited to make thematic reports at the 9th National Symposium on Metallogenic Theory and Prospecting Methods in 2019 and the 15th National Mineral Deposit Conference in 2020.

Research Interests：

Multi-scale metallogenic regularity and exploration application of porphyry copper deposits
