Research Interests

My basic interest is the stochastic modeling and simulations in Science and Engineering. Currently I am mainly interested in developing mathematical theory and computational methods for biological problems from both dynamical and statistical point of view. This includes the deeper understanding and development of single-cell RNA sequencing data analysis, machine learning methods for biological data, rare events for biological systems, and network inference methods in systems biology, etc. I am also interested in the machine learning methods for molelular simulations, and compressive sensing methods for channel estimation problem in communications. A brief list may be:

Recent Interests and Publications

Algorithmic and Theoretical Studies for scRNA-seq Data Analysis: scRNA-seq data analysis provides a great platform for applied mathematicians, in which the stochastic dynamics, statistical data analysis and machine learning can be integrated to boost the understanding of cell developments. In this field, we collaborate with the biologists like Prof. Fuchou Tang (PKU), and the applied mathematicians like Prof. Luonan Chen (CAS), Qing Nie (UC Irvine), and Xiaojie Qiu (MIT) et al.

Stochastic Dynamics and Data Analysis in Life Sciences: We are also trying to develop theory and algorithms for the stochastic problems in life sciences, especially the chemical reaction kinetics and genetic interactions in the cellular level. It is surprising that the stochastics can play so important role in life sciences. In this field, we collaborate with the physicists like Prof. Qi Ouyang, Fangting Li (PKU), and the applied mathematicians like Prof. Luonan Chen (CAS) et al.


Other Selected Publications

Below are some unsorted selected publications from my research. It is a bit diverse. You can feel my taste, and find my growth path from these papers.


Postdocs: Wanted!!!

We have funding for postdoc positions. If you have interests to perform research in stochastic modeling and computations, e.g. mathematical life sciences, machine learning, numerical methods for SDEs, applications in rare events, etc. Please send your CV and application letter to me directly.
