Dr. Li’s research interest is exploring the structure-property-processing relationships in structural metals and advanced materials, with particular emphasis on size effect, structural disorder, and extreme processing conditions, and their roles in mechanical and functional properties. Our research utilizes integrated computational materials science and engineering (ICME) approach, coupling multi-scale materials modeling and simulations, data-driven models, and experimental means to establish connections between atomic process and macroscopic material performance, particularly for amorphous alloys, nanostructured alloys, additive manufactured metals, and photovoltaic materials.
