Professor Li specializes in portable radar sensor technologies that significantly advance healthcare, smart living, structural monitoring, and wireless human-machine interfaces. His research focuses on RF/Analog Circuits and Microwave/Millimeter-Wave sensing for Healthcare, Security, and Human-Machine Interface.

His contributions have led to his elevation as a Fellow of the National Academy of Inventors (NAI)[3] and he was named as an IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society (MTT-S) Distinguished Microwave Lecturer (DML),[4] Tatsuo Itoh class of 2022–2024.[5] In 2024 he was elevated to IEEE Fellow[6] Li is also an IEEE MTT TC-28 Member[7] (TC-28 Biological Effects and Medical Applications Committee)

Early life and education

edit

Li was born in Chengdu, China in 1982.
He received a B.S. degree in electrical engineering from Zhejiang University, China, in 2004.
He pursued his MSc and PhD in 2007 at University of Florida.[8] His PhD research focused on Doppler Phase Modulation Effect for non-contact accurate measurement of vital signs and other periodic movements, culminating in the integration of theory into CMOS system-on-chip technology.[9]
Li became an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineer at Texas University in 2009, later in 2014 became Associate Professor and from 2020 is Full Professor in the same university.[10]

Academic career

edit

Currently, Li holds the position of Full Professor and Whitacre Endowed Chair in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Texas Tech University and is the head of the research group Biomedical Integrated Devices and Systems (BIDS).[11]
The Texas Tech Biomedical Integrated Devices and Systems (BIDS) emphasizes multi-disciplinary research in mathematical modeling and algorithms for signal and image processing. Ongoing research addresses current issues in these areas:

  • Computer Vision
  • Stereography
  • Stenagography
  • Medical Imaging
  • South Plains Alcohol & Addiction
  • Research Center
  • Image Registration
  • Compression
  • Segmentation

Professor Li currently serves as an Associate Editor of the IEEE Journal of Electromagnetics, RF, and Microwaves in Medicine and Biology,[12] and he is a guest editor for various academic journals and publications, and guest chair of conferences,[13] workshops and technical committees.
