BIO
Since 2017, I am a Full Professor in School of Physics Science and Engineering, Tongji University, Shanghai, China. I received my B.Sc. and Ph.D. degree at University of Science and Technology of China in 2005 and 2010 respectively. During 2007-09, I was a visiting PhD student in the Centre for Chaos and Complex Networks at City University of Hong Kong. Prior to joining Tongji, I was research scientist in the Temasek Laboratories at National University of Singapore, Singapore; and postdoctoral researcher in the Center for Complex Network Research at Northeastern University, Boston, USA. I am a recipient of the Thousand Youth Talents Plan (2016).

RESEARCH INTERESTS
My primary research interest is network science, aiming at developing innovative theories and computational tools to better understand, anticipate and control complex networks and systems. Specific topics my current efforts focus on include:

I am the co-organizer of the Symposium of Controlling Complex Networks at NetSci'14 (Berkeley, USA), NetSci'15 (Zaragoza, Spain), and NetSci'16 (Seoul, South Korea). I have been a reviewer for a variety of journals, including Nature Communications, Physical Review Letters, Physical Review X/E, IEEE Transactions on Network Science and Engineering, IEEE Transactions on Control of Network Systems, etc.
