Research Interests

I am a Full Professor at the School of Mathematics, China University of Mining and Technology. I am interested in understanding and predicting the behaviour of complex systems, particularly in the context of network structures and environmental fluctuations. Most of my work focuses on the concept of emergence-how large-scale patterns and collective behaviours arise from the interactions of individual components. In particular, I study network dynamics, the resilience of ecological networks, tipping point prediction, collective animal motion, and consensus dynamics in multi-agent systems. My research aims to uncover how interaction topologies and environmental noise shape emergent structures and functions in complex systems.
