Assistant Professor, Mechanical Engineering
Bio
Dr. Li's research interests concentrate on the intelligent integration of mobile sensing, perception, monitoring, and intervention for aerospace and mechanical systems. He has been developing data-driven system identification, state estimation, and control for complex systems. He is also dedicated to building cyber-physical testbeds to investigate neuromorphic perception and control for bio-inspired flapping flights. He received his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics from the University of Rhode Island. Before joining RIT, he was a postdoctoral associate in the mechanical and aerospace engineering department at Cornell University. His research interests include:
Research Interests
