Background Information: 

Dr. Li received his BSc from Zhengzhou University in 2006 and PhD from Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2011. During his PhD, he studied in TU Dresden, Germany with a Max-Planck Society Scholarship for two years (2008-2010). He did postdocs at CEA, France (2011-2013) and SCM, Netherlands as a Marie Curie fellow (2013-2015). After that he returned to CEA as a research scientist in 2015. Dr. Li was an Assistant and Associate Professor at Institute for Advanced Study, Shenzhen University from Jan. 2016 to Sept. 2023. He is a primary developer of the ShengBTE software, routinely used for studying the lattice thermal conductivity. He has been ranked among the World's Top 2% Scientists (2021, 2022 and 2023) by citation for “the career long impact”.
