Education edit
Li graduated from the Department of Mathematics and Mechanics, Peking University in 1966. He then studied at the University of Edinburgh obtaining a PhD in computer science in 1983 supervised by Gordon Plotkin.[2]
Career edit
After graduation, he was funded by the EPSRC at Newcastle University and the University of Edinburgh as Senior Programmer. He was also a visiting professor at the Saarland University. He was elected to the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1997.
Research interests edit
Li is mostly engaged in the applied research of Computer Software and Theory and Internet, including programming language, software development, artificial intelligence, and integrated circuit design.
Achievements edit
Li did some of the first work on structural operational semantics of concurrent programming languages such as Ada and Edison, including a theory of translation between such languages with methods for proving the correctness of translations.[2]
1992, building release logic theory solved the incompleteness of information and fallibility of knowledge and nonmonotonicity of inference.
1998, first advocated research on Data Mining Technology。
