Open course site

Professors Anvar Chanyshev and Ilgizar Abdulin, Chief Researchers from the N. A. Chinakal Institute of Mining of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Engineering, were invited to conduct a two-month academic exchange at China University of Mining and Technology. This event received strong support from the International Office, the State Key Laboratory of Intelligent Construction and Healthy Operation and Maintenance of Deep Underground Engineering, and the Jiangsu Provincial Applied Mechanics Center. The "Deep Underground Science and Engineering" open course and the "CUMT Global Forum" series of lectures, attracted significant attention and became a highlight of the exchange activity.

On the morning of June 30, the opening ceremony and first lecture of the "Deep Underground Science and Engineering" open course were held in Conference Room 303 of the State Key Laboratory. Professor Ma Zhanguo extended a warm welcome to the two Russian professors in his speech, noting that Russia is a world leader in deep underground engineering and mathematical research. He emphasized that this collaboration aims to align with China's deep underground strategy and the university's focus on deep underground science and engineering by introducing advanced Russian theories, methods, and equipment to deepen technical exchanges. Professor Zhai Cuixia stressed the importance of leveraging Russia's strengths in fundamental theoretical research to complement domestic technological applied research, achieving mutual benefits and win-win cooperation.

With their profound academic expertise, Professors Anvar and Abdulin delivered excellent reports on refined mechanical modeling and disaster mechanisms of deep blocky rock masses. Their novel research perspectives and cutting-edge theories provided fresh insights for the attending faculty and students. This academic event attracted active participation from teachers and students across multiple units, including the School of Mechanics & Civil Engineering, the State Key Laboratory of Intelligent Construction and Healthy Operation and Maintenance of Deep Underground Engineering, the School of Low-Carbon Energy and Power Engineering, and the School of Mines, creating a rich academic atmosphere on site.

It is reported that during this open course, the two Russian professors will deliver a total of 20 academic lectures. This cross-international, cross-institutional, and interdisciplinary academic exchange not only builds a bridge for Sino-Russian academic collaboration but will also inject new momentum into the discipline development and talent cultivation at China University of Mining and Technology. It is expected to advance the university's research in the field of deep underground science and engineering to new heights.

Expert Profiles:

Professor Anvar Chanyshev is a specialist in the field of solid mechanics, rock mechanics, as well as physical and mathematical sciences. Currently, he is a professor of geological and geophysical geomechanics department of Novosibirsk state university; he is also a senior researcher of laboratory of rock failure in institute of mining, Siberian Branch of the USSR Academy of Sciences/Russian Academy of Sciences.
