个人简介 Profile

我是一名从进化人类学视角开展计算社会科学研究的学者,现任长沙中南大学社会学系讲师,并兼任伦敦大学学院荣誉研究员。我的研究主要关注家庭与社会群体中的合作与竞争机制,以及文化模式如何在特定生态背景中适应并促进合作行为。

在方法上,我结合经济博弈实验数学建模社会网络分析人口数据分析展开研究,主要使用 R 进行实证分析,也熟悉贝叶斯建模等定量方法。我希望通过跨学科研究进一步理解社会合作的演化过程,并为文化适应与社会行为塑造机制提供新的解释框架。

I am an academic working on computational social science from an evolutionary anthropology perspective. I currently serve as a Lecturer in the Department of Sociology at Central South University and as an Honorary Research Fellow at University College London. My research focuses on the evolutionary mechanisms of cooperation and competition within families and social groups, and on how cultural patterns adapt to ecological contexts to promote cooperative behaviour.

Methodologically, I combine economic game experiments, mathematical modelling, social network analysis, and empirical demographic data analysis, primarily using R. I also have experience with Bayesian modelling and related quantitative approaches. Through interdisciplinary research, I aim to deepen our understanding of the evolutionary processes underlying social cooperation and the mechanisms shaping human social behaviour.
