Education and career

Li has a bachelor's degree from Beihang University, and a master's degree from Tsinghua University, in materials science and engineering. She continued her graduate studies at the University of Michigan, where she received a second master's degree in statistics, and completed her Ph.D. in mechanical engineering, [1] [4] in 2011. [3]

She became a member of the mechanical engineering department at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, starting in 2011, [1] before moving to Pennsylvania State University in 2016. [2] At Penn State, she held the title of William and Wendy Korb Early Career Professor as an associate professor, [2] [5] before being promoted to full professor in 2022. [6]

Recognition

Li received a National Science Foundation CAREER Award in 2016. [1] She was the 2019 recipient of the Chao and Trigger Young Manufacturing Engineer Award of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). [5] In in 2022 she was named as an ASME Fellow. [7]
