Please read more about me:
1. What topics do you have some expertise in and would you be willing to help others learn them?
I major in CS and automatic control. My research interests mainly focus in the modeling and data mining of networked systems, esp. urban transportation networks and highway networks. I also have some experience on stochastic process, Markov Decision Processes (MDP), Discrete-event Dynamic Systems (DEDS), and Ergonomics. Recently I'm working with the self-similarities and multiscaling problems in network flows.
I am only too pleased if my experience can really helps others.
2. What do you want to learn at the CSSS?
Knowledge about complex systems in other disciplines. Tools and methods for modeling, mining and optimizing networked systems.
3. Do you have any projects or research interests that would benefit from an interdisciplinary approach?
Of course. I'm eager to learn the methods for exploring complex networked systems in other domains (eg. communication and computer networks), and I believe great ideas can be inspired from an interdisciplinary approach.
4. Do you have any ideas for what sort of project you would like to do work on with other CSSS students this summer?
Some innovative work like working out new models or designing new methods and algorithms.
5. Suppose you could travel one-hundred years in the future and ask researchers any three questions. What would those questions be?
In fact, I have much more than three questions:) I'll just list 3 that are on top of my head.
1) How do "computers" look like now? Are they still "electrical" machines?
2) Is complex systems still a myth?
3) What do academic disciplines look like now?
