Biography
Professor Li has been a faculty member since 2005 (John W. Fisher (formerly James W. McConnell Professor) since 2017, Professor in 2016, Associate Professor in 2011~2016, Assistant Professor in 2005~2011) in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) at The University of Tennessee at Knoxville (UTK). He is a Fellow of IEEE (Class of 2017). He is also a registered Professional Engineer in the State of North Carolina. He is one of the original founding members of the NSF Engineering Research Center, CURENT, funded by NSF at $37.5 million in 10 years from 2011 to 2021. He was appointed as the Director of CURENT in March 2024, after serving as the CURENT's UTK Campus Director from 2014 to 2024 and the Education Director from 2011 to 2014. Also, he has been serving as the Project Lead for CURENT's Large-scale Test Bed since 2015. He is also an adjunct researcher at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). Since 2015, he has consistently maintained a large research group with typical research expenditure around $1.0 to $1.2 million per year of his own share. His research group can be found at the ENLITEN lab. He received the PES Roy Billinton Reliability Award in 2026, a PES-Level Prize Paper award also in 2026, a R&D 100 Award in 2020, and 8 best/prize papers at international journals & 7 best papers/posters at international conferences. Below is a summary of his contributions in research, leaderhip, and advising.

Research/Technical Contributions:
Professor Li’s technical contributions can be characterized as "advancing the economic, resilient, and intelligent operation and planning of modern electric power systems." His technical work spans three interconnected sub-areas within power systems.

(1) Electricity Markets and Power System Economics: Professor Li has made significant contributions to electricity market analysis and locational marginal pricing (LMP). During his employment at ABB from 2001 to 2005, he served as the Lead Developer of the commercial releases 1.0 and 2.0 of ABB’s (now Hitachi Energy’s) GridView™ software, one of the industry’s leading power market simulation platforms used by many electric utilities and Independent System Operators (ISOs) in the US and worldwide. After joining the University of Tennessee in 2005, he developed several original algorithms and analytical methods for LMP, including probabilistic LMP, uncertainty-aware market analysis, and critical load level analysis for LMP step changes. His works in this area has been recognized through a PES-Level Prize Paper Award (link1) and three other best/prize paper awards ( link2, link3, link4), as wel as an invited article in Proceedings of the IEEE (link). In recognition of his works in this area, he was elected an IEEE Fellow (Class of 2017) for his contributions to locational marginal price (LMP) calculation algorithms and methods.

(2) Grid Reliability and Resilience: Professor Li has also made significant contributions to power system reliability and resilience, particularly in understanding and mitigating the impacts of extreme weather and renewable energy integration. His 2024 Nature Energy paper, Impacts of Renewable Energy Resources on Weather Vulnerability of Power Systems, analyzed two decades of U.S. outage data to reveal the complex relationship between renewable energy deployment and weather-induced blackout risks. The work attracted widespread attention from both the engineering community and the general media, demonstrating its broad scientific and societal impact (link). His contributions further include a book on distribution system resilience (link) and an award-winning journal paper (link) in grid reliability/resilience. He received the prestigious IEEE PES Roy Billinton Power System Reliability Award in 2026 (link), one of the highest career honors in the broad area of power system reliability.

(3) AI for Power Systems: Professor Li has also been a pioneer in applying artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to electric power systems and has played a leading role in shaping this emerging field. He served as the Founding Chair of the IEEE PES Working Group on Machine Learning for Power Systems (2019–2025) and subsequently became the Founding Chair of the IEEE PES AI for Power Systems Coordinating Committee (since 2026). He also served as Guest Editor for the IEEE Power & Energy Magazine special issue in 2022 on Big Data and Artificial Intelligence. His research accomplishments in this area include an R&D 100 Finalist recognition for AI-based multi-scenario contingency assessment (link), an award-winning paper on AI-driven demand response in a real-world residential energy systems (link), and a book on AI applications in power systems published in 2022 (link). More recently, he was invited by IEEE Educational Activities to develop a five-course series for the IEEE Learning Network (link1, link2, link3, link4, link5), helping educate the next generation of engineers on AI-enabled power system technologies. 

Leadership and Service:
In addition to his technicl contributions, Dr. Li has also been a leader in technology and service throughout his career. He has been the CURENT Director since 2024, after serving as the Education Director (2011-2014) and UTK Campus Director (2014-2024). He led the CURENT Large-scale Test Bed (LTB) project team which received a R&D 100 Award in 2020 (link), a Best Student Paper at 2023 NAPS conference (link), and an IEEE PES Technical Committee Prize Paper in 2024 (link) based on LTB related works. He served as the inaugural Editor-In-Chief (EIC) for IEEE Open Access Journal of Power and Energy from 2020 to 2025; Chair (2020-2021) and Vice Chair (2016-2019) of IEEE PSOPE Committee; Vice Chair (2015-2016) and Secretary (2009-2014) of IEEE PSPI (Power System Planning and Implementation) Committee (merged into PSOPE in 2016); Founding Chair (2019-2025) of IEEE PES WG on Machine Learning for Power Systems; and Founding Chair (since 2026) of IEEE PES AI for Power Systems Coordinating Committee.

Advising and Mentorship:
Dr. Li is also an outstanding research advisor and mentor. Six of his former PhD students have been faculty members at US universities with strong research programs in electric power (e.g., Missouri University of Science and Technology, North Carolina State University, University of South Carolina, UNC Charlotte, Kansas State University, University of Texas at San Antonio) and four formal PhD students are now Professors or Chair Professors at 3 top universities in China.

In summary, Dr. Li’s contributions have been recognized by both academia and industry, both within the power community and outside IEEE.
