Introduction: Fan Yang is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Institute of Geology and Geophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences (IGGCAS). He recently earned his Ph.D. in Geophysics from IGGCAS in 2022. His research studies the Earth's structure around the mantle transition zone in the Northwest Pacific and the southeastern Tibet Plateau, based on receiver function, SS precursor. He is also interested in researching the lithosphere structure and mantle flow. He obtained a panoptic view of mantle flow beneath the trans-continental Northeast Asia through the SKS splitting method. His research aimed at estimating mantle compositional heterogeneity and exploring different tectonic plate recycling models, which is the key conditional to resolving the material and energy exchange between the Earth’s shallow and deep interior regions.
