His research interests include artificial intelligence, evolutionary computing, swarm intelligence, cloud computing and big data. At present (until April 2020), he has published (accepted) more than 100 papers in international journals and conferences, including more than 40 papers in the top international journals in the field of computer in the IEEE Transactions series. The paper has been cited more than 6,000 times by international peers (Google Scholar), including more than 3,000 SCI citations. Eight papers were selected as ESI highly cited papers, including one ESI hot paper (62 ESI hot papers in the global computer field in February 2014).
The research results have been positively evaluated and applied by international peers. They include the founder of the ant Colony Algorithm (Dorigo), the founder of Tabu Search (Von Neumann Theory Prize winner, Glover), Fellow of the Indian National Academy of Sciences and the Indian Academy of Engineering (IEEE Fuzzy Systems Pioneer Award winner, Pal, Pedrycz, IEEE Fellow and other renowned scholars commented on the "encouraging results"; It has been promoted by IEEE Computational Intelligence Society as the "Computational Intelligence Publishing Focus". It was used by the European Space Agency scientists to optimize the parameters of the mass spectrometer of the comet probe. At the same time, it is also widely used by domestic and foreign scholars in the optimization problems in many fields such as biomedicine, physical optics, chemical production, image processing, signal processing, and so on, to promote the development of related fields.
