Xingliang Jiang has been full-time faculty member at the School of Electrical Engineering, Chongqing University, since 2001. After completing his undergraduate studies in electrical engineering at Hunan University in 1982, he worked in the industry for three years. He then obtained his Master’s and Ph.D. at Chongqing University, in 1988 and 1997.

Dr. Jiang has lead a number of research projects on icing of power network equipment and on de-icing and anti-icing methods at Wuhan High Voltage Research Institute (WHVRI), while  collaborating with Professor Farzaneh for more than 20 years on various research projects.

With the help of his research team and his many collaborators, he was able to establish research laboratories and carry out fundamental studies on the influence of ice storms on overhead power lines. In association with Professor Farzaneh, he was recently entrusted with an important and prestigious Key Project of the National Science Foundation of China (NSFC) on the icing performance of insulator strings under extra and ultra high voltage direct current. A prolific author, he has published two monographs and more than 280 journal papers.

Professor Jiang also sits on some regulatory committees. In particular, he is deputy chairman of the China standardization committee of environmental technology for electrical products and is responsible for the formulation and revision of national and industry standards. His achievements and contributions have been recognized in being selected among the best academic discipline talents in Chongqing, being awarded special meritorious allowances from the China government, and being the winner of the coveted National Award of Science and Technology at three occasions.
