Dr. Zhikai Wang | Cemented Backfilling | Research Excellence Award
Wuhan University of Technology | China
Dr. Zhikai Wang is a mining engineering researcher specializing in solid waste management and sustainable backfilling technologies for modern mining operations. He is affiliated with Wuhan University of Technology, China, and has received advanced academic training in mining engineering, progressing from undergraduate to doctoral-level studies at leading Chinese institutions. His research focuses on cemented backfilling mining technology, thermodynamic analysis, laboratory experimentation, and numerical modeling, with particular emphasis on the ecological disposal and reutilization of industrial solid wastes. Dr. Wang has been deeply involved in several nationally funded research projects addressing particle rheology, consolidation behavior, and strength evolution mechanisms of cemented paste backfill systems under complex multi-field coupling conditions in deep mining environments. His work contributes to improving the mechanical performance, durability, and environmental compatibility of backfilling materials derived from tailings, phosphogypsum, and red mud. Through systematic experimental investigations and microstructural analyses, he has advanced understanding of rheological behavior, stability control, and long-term performance of backfill bodies in underground mines. Dr. Wang has authored multiple peer-reviewed publications in high-impact international journals, reflecting his growing influence in green mining, resource recycling, and environmentally responsible mine waste management.
