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.
