  1. Thermodynamic Space of Chemical Reaction Networks, with Paolo De Los Rios and Daniel Maria Busiello, is published in Physical Review X 16, 041026. Explore its results in the interactive explainer.

  2. Exact Finite Response of Higher-Order Statistics in Nonequilibrium Networks, with Ruicheng Bao, is published in Chinese Physics Letters 43, 100002.

  3. Shiling Liang gives invited talks at Queen Mary University of London and Imperial College London under the title Turning the Knobs, on response and control in Markov jump processes and in biochemical processes.

  4. Thermodynamic Space of Chemical Reaction Networks is accepted in Physical Review X. An interactive explainer lets you explore its main results.

  5. How much can a single rate change a completion time? Two new preprints with Ruicheng Bao take up this question, with a universal control budget for first-passage kinetics and an exact response theory for mean first-passage times.

  6. Non-equilibrium symmetry of cyclic first-passage times, with Daniel Maria Busiello and Simone Pigolotti, is published in New Journal of Physics 28, 064602.

  7. Shiling Liang is selected for the Shanghai Magnolia Talent Program (Youth Project).

  8. Shiling Liang will join the Department of Physics at Fudan University in Shanghai as Assistant Professor in early 2027 and start a research group. See Join for open positions.

  9. Shiling Liang is awarded the NSFC Excellent Young Scientists Fund (Overseas).
