Background

Previous Academic Positions:

Weiss Instructor of Physics, Rice University, Houston TX

Visiting Assistant Professor of Physics, Colgate University,  Hamilton, NY

Interests

I am interested in developing theoretical methods and computational simulations to study complex networks and time series in nature. 

  1. Theory of strongly correlated many electronic networks, especially high temperature superconductors.
  2. Physics based models in biological networks, such as the bacteria phage co-evolving system, COVID-19 diffusion modeling, etc.
  3. Statistical theory of the personalized critical care
  4. Dynamics of social networks
