Dr. Li has been studying the strength and failure of a wide class of materials. His main contributions have focused on the microstructural mechanisms by which structural materials resist fracture like fatigue, corrosion et al. He received a Ph.D. degrees in East China University of Science and Technology. Following, he joined the faculty in school of Engineering at Huzhou University.
