Shuo Xue, Associate Professor. Engaged in research primarily on the ore-forming mechanisms of carbonatite-host rare earth and niobium deposits, the subduction zone cycling of chalcophile elements, and the genesis of ion-adsorption type heavy rare earth deposits. Led or participated in projects such as the National Natural Science Foundation for Young Scientists and the China Postdoctoral Science Foundation. Currently, as the first or corresponding author, has published 9 SCI papers in journals including: Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, Geology, Journal of Petrology, Geological Society of America Bulletin, American Minerologist, Chemical Geology, Lithos, and Ore Geology Reviews. Serving as a reviewer for GCA and Geochemistry journals.

2010-2014: Undergraduate studies at China University of Petroleum (East China), majoring in Geology.

2014-2019: Research at the Mineralization Laboratory, Guangzhou Institute of Geochemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

2018-2019: Visiting scholar at Rice University.

2019-2021: Isotope Laboratory postdoctoral researcher at Guangzhou Institute of Geochemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

2021-2023: Research assistant in the Mineralization Laboratory at Guangzhou Institute of Geochemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

2023-Present: Associate Professor in the Mineralization Laboratory at Guangzhou Institute of Geochemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

The main research focus involves utilizing experimental petrology to simulate real geological processes, observe mechanisms of element enrichment and differentiation, and apply these findings to subduction zone element cycling, ore deposit formation mechanisms, and petrogenesis in petrology. Recent research interests are concentrated in: (1) Experimentally simulating the ore-forming processes of carbonatite-host rare earth and high field strength element deposits using experimental petrology. (2) Modeling the differentiation and enrichment mechanisms of rare earth elements during the process of sediment melting. (3) Tracing the petrogenesis and ore-forming processes of rare earth deposits using non-traditional isotope techniques.
