Xinggang Zhang

【Personal Profile】

I have been working at Guizhou University since 2003 and obtained my Ph.D. in 2013. In recent years, I have mainly undertaken the teaching of theoretical courses such as College Physics and Linear Algebra, and have published some teaching papers. I have guided many SRT projects and national innovation projects, as well as the undergraduate physics tournament for college students, and have won the excellent guidance teacher award many times. In terms of laboratory management, I have been responsible for the construction and management of the Optical Information Physics Laboratory and the Computational Physics Laboratory in Guizhou University. In recent years, I mainly engage in the research of dynamical systems, statistical physics, and complex systems. I have hosted and participated in some provincial and national natural science research projects, and have published over ten SCI (or EI) papers as the first author. My personal interests and hobbies mainly focus on the exploration of academic issues, especially the discussion of mathematics, physics, and related philosophical issues; In addition, I am also interested in high-performance computing, computer simulation, and artificial intelligence.

【Academic Achievements】

The main goal of our research group is to develop theoretical and numerical calculation methods based on dynamic systems and statistical physics, and use them to study related problems in complex systems such as soft condensed matter systems and digital image systems. Currently, we are interested in research topics such as mechanical networks and their statistical mechanics for discrete systems, the structure and mechanical properties of granular materials, self-organization of granular materials, shape statistical analysis and pattern recognition of images.

Granular physics: packing problems, force networks and stress, self-organization；discrete element method, granular statistical mechanics, multiscale models, constitutive equations.

Machine vision and complex networks: functional data analysis, shape analysis, network theory, mechanical networks.
