A professor at the Chinese Academy of Sciences' Postgraduate Students Institute, Shi combined elements of geology, seismology, and comparative planetary sciences while researching geodynamics. He, considered the deformation, interstitial fluid and complex coupling effect of heat transfer, and achieved much in the field of geodynamics quantitative simulation. As a result of these studies, he initiated the research orientation of geothermal tectonic science. While conducting research on the Qinghai-Tibet plateau and the Himalayans, he examined the qualitative illumination of aerial geothermal features and formation mechanisms.
In 2001, he was elected an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
