Art Of Single-well Push-pull Test: 0 (Unconventional Subsurface Flow And Transport)

Quanrong Wang is a Professor in Hydrology mainly focusing on multiphase flow in subsurface and reactive transport modeling at China University of Geosciences, Wuhan, China. He is also a National Outstanding Youth Science Fund winner, and Hubei Outstanding Youth winner, focusing on the analytical and numerical modeling of single-well push-pull tests. His research has been funded by four programs from the National Natural Science Foundation of China; one from the Hubei Province Outstanding Youth Fund, one from the First Class Grant of the Postdoctoral Fund, one from the Special Grant of the Postdoctoral Fund, and one from the Cradle Program. He has published more than 50 high-quality papers in international peer reviewed journals (times cited: 597, h-index: 13), such as Water Resource Research, Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, Journal of Hydrology, Advances in Water Resources, and Groundwater. He is co-editor of Principles and Dynamics of the Critical Zone, which was published by Elsevier. He is an Associate Editor for the Journal of Hydrology and Groundwater, as well as a member of the editorial boards for Geoscience and Technology Bulletin, Earth Science, and Journal of Earth Sciences.

Hongbin Zhan is Professor of Geology and Geophysics and Professor of Water Management and Hydrological Science at Texas A& M University (TAMU), College Station, USA. He is the Holder of Endowed Dudley J. Hughes '51 Chair in Geology and Geophysics at TAMU. His teaching and research interests are in fundamental processes of groundwater hydrology, flow and transport in geological formations, and their applications in water resources management and geological, environmental, and energy engineering. He is an elected Fellow of the Geological Society of America and Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). He has published more than 347 peer-reviewed articles with a google scholar citation of 8861 and an H-index of 52. He has graduated over 60 graduate students and has supervised over 25 visiting scholars and postdoctoral scientists. He has served in many national and international committees and panels, such as the US DOE Subsurface Biogeochemical Research program; AAAS Research Competitiveness Program; US DOD/EPA/DOE Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program; American Society of Mechanical Engineers, and the Institute for Regulatory Science peer review board.

Wenguang Shi is a Postdoctoral Fellow in Hydrogeology, interested in groundwater flow and its impact on solute and heat transport in porous and fractured media at the China University of Geosciences (CUG), Wuhan, China. His research focuses primarily on the fundamental processes of groundwater flow, solute and thermal transport in porous and fracture aquifers, with applications extending to water resources management, geological, environmental, and geothermal energy engineering. His research has been funded by the Scholarship from China Scholarship Council, the outstanding Doctoral Innovation Fund Program of China University of Geosciences (Wuhan), the National Scholarship of China, the First Prize for Bachelor Thesis by CUG, and PhD fellowship of the Chinese government. Wenguang has published over 20 papers in international peer-reviewed journals, with him serving as the first author for 9 of these papers. He is a reviewer for Journal of Hydrology, Journal of Advanced Research in Fluid Mechanics and Thermal Sciences, the International Workshop on Engineering Physics (IWEP), and Bulletin of Geological Science and Technology.
