Xueshang Feng received his Ph.D. degree from Lanzhou University, People’s Republic of China. Then, he worked as a postdoctoral researcher at Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics. He is currently a Professor and the Deputy-Director of the State Key Laboratory of Space Weather, National Space Science Center, Chinese Academy of Sciences. For more than two decades, he has worked extensively on developing numerical methods of space weather modeling and prediction. In 2007, he developed the three-dimensional Solar-Interplanetary space-time Conservation Element and Solution Element (SIP-CESE) MHD model that was validated by employing to simulate the steady-state solar wind, the extrapolation of coronal magnetic field with nonlinear force-free model, and the evolution of coronal mass ejections in the heliosphere. In 2010, he proposed the six-component grid system that consists of six identical component meshes to cover a spherical surface with partial overlap on their boundariesand can avoid mesh convergence and singularities at the pole regions in the common spherical coordinates. He has published more than 300 research papers. He received a Second Class Prize of the National Natural Science Award of China in 2002.
