I obtained my Bachelor and Master degree at Sun Yat-sen University (China). Now I am supported by the CSC schorlarship (China Scholarship Council) to pursue my doctorate degree at Humboldt University of Berlin. My research interests are as follows.

  • extreme weather events
  • complex networks
  • tipping element and resilience
