Qian Qihu obtained a Kandidat Nauk degree (Candidate of Sciences) from Gobichev Military Engineering in Moscow, Russia. He was appointed as associate professor in 1980 and professor in 1986. Now, he is a professor and doctoral advisor at the PLA University of Science and Technology in Nanjing. Qian has been engaged in civil engineering and rock mechanics and engineering for several decades. Qian has published several monographs, such as Impact and Explosion Effects in Rock and Soil, Study of the Development and Utilization of Underground Space in Chinese Cities, and Calculation Theory for Advanced Protective Structures. He and his research group received the Important Scientific Award at the National Science Conference and National Awards for Science and Technology Progress in China for their achievements in the propagation of stress wave in rock and soil, stress wave passing through fractured rock masses and interaction of stress wave with structures in rock masses. He is also Editor-in-Chief of Journal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, and Editorial Board Member of Chinese Journal of Rock Mechanics and Engineering. In May 1994, Qian was elected as a fellow of the Chinese Academy of Engineering (CAE), deputy director of the CAE Civil Engineering Division in 1994–2000, deputy director of the CAE Engineering Management Division in 2000–2004, vice president of the International Society for Rock Mechanics (ISRM) in 2003–2007 and was elected as fellow of ISRM in 2012, Asian director of the Associated Research Centre for the Urban Underground Space (ACUUS), president of the Chinese Society for Rock Mechanics and Engineering, and concurrently a professor of many universities.
