1997-2000 Department of Computer Science, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Advisor: Shang-Hua Teng. 1996-1997 Department of Computer Science, University of Minnesota at Twin City, Advisor: Shang-Hua Teng. 1995-1996 Department of Computer Science, Tsinghua University, P.R.China, Advisor: Yi-Qi Dai. Bachelors (B.E. 1995, B.M. 1995) 1990-1995 Department of Computer Science, Tsinghua University, P.R.China Highschool 1988-1990 Mathematical Olympic Class, P.R.China Professor Li has been working in the fields of theoretical computer science, particularly in the areas of algorithm design and analysis, and scientific computing. Topics of his research projects include wireless networks; computational geometry; applications of computational geometry to computer graphics, robotics, and mesh generation; scientific computing; cryptography and network security, and combinatorial optimization. He moved to Urbana-Champaign in August 1997, and graduated with Ph.D degree from Department of Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. His doctoral thesis advisor is professor Shang-Hua Teng. He had been a Research Assistant in the Center for Simulation of Advanced Rocket(CSAR) from 1997 to 2000. He spent one year (Sept. 1995 - May 1996) at Tsinghua University as a graduate student then he moved to University of Minnesota at Twin City at 1996. So, it is interesting that he spent 4 years at two different Twin cities: one is Minneapolis-ST.Paul of Minnesota, the other one is, nevertheless to say, Champaign-Urbana of Illinois. He was born in Taixing, Yangzhou, (now belong to Taizhou), a beautiful historic city located along the YangTze River, of Jiangsu Province in China. he lived and studied there until he was 16 years old. Then he spent one and half years (together with other 19 students selected from China) in Tsinghua (Beijing) for preparing the International Mathematical Olympic competition. All of our Mathematics Olympic classmates had so great time together that we still keep in touch. In July 1995, he graduated with a Bachelor's Degree from the Department of Computer Science and Technology in Tsinghua University, located in Beijing, China. he came to University of Minnesota on September 5, 1996 to pursue his Ph.D degree at Computer Science. Besides the study and research, he likes doing some sports: playing badminton, soccer and basketball. He also likes gardening and playing some card games. Want to know more about him?
