Research interests

My basic interest is the stochastic modeling and simulations in Science and Engineering. Currently, I am mostly interested in the model reduction of complex networks, which can be found from the PNAS paper below. We are trying to develop our algorithm further from some ideas in statistics. Some more research interests include:

Software

Our community detection algorithm SAVI (Simulated Annealing algorithm for minimizing Validity Index) based on the optimal reduction of the random walker dynamics on the complex network (see the papers on complex networks below) is integrated here. To use it, unzip the downloaded files and run the main.m file in matlab environment. The matlab codes main.m is the main function. The other .m files are functions called by main.m. Some network data files are also included. The output is the .clu file which can be visualized with the software Pajek.


Some publications

Chemical Reaction Kinetics: Currently we focus our research on the understanding of the tau-leaping algorithm and constructing more accurate and stabilized schemes based on solid mathematical analysis. I mainly collaborate with Assyr Abdulle (EPFL) and my students Yucheng Hu and Bin Min (PKU) in this research field.

Multiscale modeling of complex fluids: We have done some theoretical analysis for the multiscale models of complex fluids, such as the wellposedness of the equations, convergence analysis of the BCF method, and HMM methods. This is an exciting area. I mainly collaborate with Weinan E (Princeton), Eric Vanden-Eijnden (Courant), Hui Zhang (BNU) and Pingwen Zhang (PKU) in this field.

Statistical data analysis: The data is emerging each second in our time. How to extract the information from the data? We consider this problem from different interesting backgrounds such as the complex networks, quantum optics, Netflix problems etc.

Miscs: Though diversified, most of them have one central theme: STOCHASTICS.
