Zhang Yiwei- Network Science

Dr. Zhang Yiwei  distinguished academic and researcher in the field Network Science. He is currently serving as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Southern University of Science and Technology. His primary research interests in pure mathematics revolve around the interplay of dynamical systems, ergodic theory, probability theory, and optimizations. His work delves into the statistical properties of dynamical systems, particularly those generated by iterations of maps exhibiting a certain level of hyperbolicity. Emphasizing probabilistic studies, he explores topics such as ergodic optimization and thermodynamics formalism problems associated with the invariant measures of these systems.

Beyond theoretical pursuits, he actively engages in the practical applications of his research, modeling dynamics in real-world systems such as data-driven dynamical systems in cell biology and neuroscience. With an impressive track record, he has authored 24 manuscripts in peer-reviewed journals, collaborated with distinguished mathematicians, and received prestigious awards, including the Chen Shengshen Prize of Mathematics from the Chinese Mathematical Society and the Marc Yor Prize from the French Academy of Sciences. Notably, in 2020, he and his collaborators successfully resolved a 20-year-long standing conjecture in ergodic optimization originally proposed by Professors G. Yuan and B. Hunt at the University of Maryland in 1999.
