Prof. Yong-Gang Li, a senior researcher at Statewide California Earthquake Center of University of Southern California, honorary professor at Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences, and overseas consultant at China Earthquake Scientific Experimental Site. He has been the Principal Investigator of awarded projects for earthquake research. He was the pioneer in discovery and computer modeling of fault-zone trapped waves in 1980s, and applied them for characterization of fault damage zones at seismogenic depths to insight earthquake physics and hazards. He is guest editor-in-chief of Geophysics Series of Higher Education Press and Springer Nature, editorial board member of Geoinformatics & Geostatistics. He published 4 important papers as the first author in Science and Nature, and more than 100 peer-reviewed monographs; edited 6 series books, including Earthquake and Disaster Risk: Decade Retrospective of Wenchuan Earthquake and China Seismic Experimental Site: Theoretical Framework and Ongoing Practice which won the Excellent Book Award of the China Publishing Association. He participated in scientific investigation of Wenchuan and Lushan earthquakes in China.
