Dr. Li obtained his bachelor degree (first Class) and PhD from mechanical engineering in Nanyang Technological University (NTU) and National University of Singapore (NUS), respectively. After his PhD, Dr. Li has spent over five year’s research in NUS, The University of Sydney and The Chinese University of Hong Kong. Currently, Dr. Li is an associate editor for two SCI indexed journals (Journal of Medical Imaging and Health Informatics and International Journal of Computational Methods), and editor for International Journal of Novel Ideas: Mathematics respectively in recognizing his excellent scientific achievements and research leadership. Dr. Li received two prestigious Best Paper Awards in ICCM 2015 Auckland and ICCM 2014 Cambridge respectively. Dr. Li is a Chartered Engineer, and he achieved the status of Fellow of Higher Education Academy (FHEA) in 2020.

Dr. Li’s research is focused on computational mechanics, including multi-scale modelling of advanced engineering materials and structures, artificial intelligence, additive manufacturing, biomechanics, topology optimization, acoustic analysis, development of novel numerical methods in fluid dynamics and solid mechanics, structural health monitoring (SHM). Dr. Li is the author of over 80 peer-reviewed journal publications including the top class computational mechanics journals, such as CMAME and IJNME. In 2019, Dr. Li received two prestigious awards including ICCM International Young Investigator and APACM Award for Young Investigators in Computational Mechanics based on his achievements in published papers.
