Education and Work Experience

In 2017, I received my Ph.D. from East China Normal University. From 2015 to 2016, I participated in a joint training program at the City University of New York, USA. Between 2017 and 2020, I conducted postdoctoral research at the University of Barcelona.

I have long been engaged in interdisciplinary research at the intersection of nonlinear physics and complex networks, with a particular focus on information propagation issues within brain and social networks.

To date, I have published over 30 papers in internationally renowned journals such as PNAS, Nature Communications, and Communications Physics. My research has garnered significant attention from peers both domestically and abroad, with relevant academic papers being prominently cited multiple times in high-impact journals in the field of physics, including Nature Physics, Nature Reviews Physics, and Physics Reports.

My research findings have also been specially featured by several influential magazines and media outlets in academia, such as AAAS EurekAlert, PhysOrg, and News Medical.
