研究概述：
Fields: Statistical Physics, Complex networks, Nonlinear dynamics, Epidemic spreading, Swarm, Evolutionary game theory, and Complex systems in general.
Physics is what physicists are interested in, defined by their working approaches rather than the subjects. I am interested in complex systems, which are ubiquitous at every scale in nature and society. Trained in theoretical physics, I study those systems utilizing the concepts and tools borrowed from statistical physics, network theory, nonlinear dynamics, game theory. The philosophy that drives my research is that complex emerging behaviors of certain systems are actually governed by very simple rules. The fields I ever worked or working in include synchronization of networked oscillators, swarming behaviors, modeling the spread of infectious diseases, self-organized criticality, and evolutionary game theory etc. I work with the best scientists in those disciplines.
My research interest is diverse and is changing all the time, which is good in the sense for the potential cross-fertilisation, but also criticized by some friends for the risky of being superficial. The following are selected research achievements in the past:
