Project on phase transitions and critical phenomena in complex climate systems supported by NSFC Young Scientists Fund (Type A)
Professor, Director, Ph.D. Supervisor · School of System Science, Beijing Normal University
Her research mainly focuses on phase-transition critical phenomena and dynamical evolution in statistical physics and complex systems. Building on this foundation, she conducts fundamental research in the frontier interdisciplinary field of the "complex Earth system," spanning physics, Earth science, mathematics, systems science, and information science.
She has developed a series of pioneering frameworks and paradigms for studying climate systems, the topological structure of the Earth's surface, and earthquake prediction. She has achieved internationally influential results in complex-system phase transitions and critical phenomena, as well as in the prediction and impacts of extreme climate events.
