Jianxi Gao

About

Jianxi Gao is working in the area of network science, especially on network resilience, robustness, and control. His research is focused on using network theory, control theory, statistic physics, and operation research to understand, predict, and ultimately control the resilience, cascading failures of complex systems. He is also working on the intersection between network science and AI, including network science for AI and AI for network science.

Research

Our research focuses on developing network science tools to understand complex systems’ structure and dynamics, including robustness, resilience, and control, with applications in infrastructure, society, technology, and the environment.

Primary Research Focus
Network Science and Machine Learning;
Other Focus Areas

Our research explores the structure, dynamics, and function of complex systems, bridging network science, artificial intelligence, and control theory. We develop theoretical and computational frameworks to uncover universal resilience patterns across domains such as transportation, power grids, biology, healthcare, and social systems. We also pursue diverse yet interconnected directions, including neural architecture search and model selection through network-theoretic approaches, agentic AI and in-context learning, quantum communication networks, and the dynamics of networks with incomplete or uncertain information. Together, these efforts aim to build a unified understanding of how intelligent, resilient, and adaptive behaviors emerge across natural and engineered networks.

Publications

He has published over 90 journal papers (1 in Nature, 1 in Nature Medicine, 3 in Nature Physics, 1 in Nature Ecology & Evolution, 1 in Nature Sustainability, 7 in Nature Communications, 1 in Nature Cities, 5 in PNAS, 1 in Science Advances, 1 in Physics Reports, 2 in Physical Review Letters, and 2 in Engineering) and over 10 conference papers published in AI conferences/workshops such as ACL, NeurIPS, KDD, ICLR, ICML, WWW, AAAI, IJCAI, and ACC, with over 9,000 citations on Google Scholar.
