Research Interests:

1. Big data analysis and modeling of biological, ecological and social systems: Causality detection, resilience, robustness, optimization and nonlinear control in complex systems based on data from biosystems and ecosystems; Inverse problem of the structure and dynamics of the static multi-layer large-scale systems, detection of mutual force among self-driven agents in physical space; Online collective behavior and extreme events, evolution of human interests, human activity recognition based on sensor data.
2. Nonequilibrium statistical physics and nonlinear dynamics in complex network systems: Self-organized processes, phase transition, critical behavior, flux fluctuation in the networked real systems which can be modeled by the excitable media, coupled oscillators, minority game, traffic dynamics, and epidemic spreading.
3. The basic theoretical research of machine learning and big-data analysis: Data fusion and analyzing techniques for multi-dimensional and multi-scale data sets; Self-organized critical behavior in neural networks and the flexible control of information processing in brain-inspired computing.
