Haiming Yu

I am Haiming Yu, Professor at Shandong University of Science and Technology. Motivated by urgent practical demands for underground miners’ occupational health protection and national energy security, I have conducted systematic research on the source tracing & barrier control theory and intelligent prevention and control technologies for respirable dust, targeting persistent core technical challenges of dust hazard control at fully mechanized excavation faces.I have innovatively constructed a full size dynamic dust tracking model and reconstructed the source tracing & barrier control theory for respirable dust. I have uncovered the multi scale dynamic mechanism of wetting coalescence sedimentation for wind borne coal dust, and developed weather resistant dust suppression materials together with high efficiency anti clog atomizing nozzles. I have invented an ultra close split air curtain dust control method. By integrating digital twin technology, I have established a three level closed loop “perception control execution” intelligent dust control system and developed lightweight integrated dust suppression removal equipment. These innovations break long standing technical bottlenecks of “low efficiency, poor precision and heavy equipment” and greatly enhance the removal performance of hazardous respirable dust in underground roadways.As principal investigator of the Youth Innovation Team of Shandong Provincial Universities, I have published 56 SCI/EI papers (31 JCR Q1, including Journal of Hazardous Materials), with 2 ESI Hot Papers and 7 ESI Highly Cited Papers, and my research work has been featured by Science Trends. I hold 31 granted invention patents in China and Australia, 12 of which have been successfully industrialized. I have received important honors such as the Youth Science and Technology Award of China Occupational Safety and Health Association.I have led 18 research projects including NSFC programs and sub projects of China’s National Key R&D Program. My suite of innovative technologies has been implemented in multiple coal mines including Hetaoyu Coal Mine and achieved internationally leading technical performance. It delivers comprehensive theoretical and engineering solutions for occupational health protection of underground workers and advances safe, green and intelligent coal mine mining.
