My name is XU Yan（许晏）. I got my B.S. in Chemistry from University of Science and Technology of China, which is located in my Hometown, Hefei. I came to US in 2006 for graduate study. My first year of graduate school was in chemistry, a natural continuation of my undergraduate major. However, at that time, chemistry always seemed 'alchemy' to me, whose 'complexity' I could not appreciate. One year later I transferred to Physics and got my Ph.D. in theoretical physics from Stony Brook University in 2012. I started my postdoctoral research from September 2012. Since then, I have learned network theory (particularly generalized random graphs) by myself and become interested in the structure and function of complex networked systems. The emergence pattern of my life thermodynamics is to maximize the "entropy"...
