Professor Li has been a faculty member since 2005 (John W. Fisher Professor since 2023, James W. McConnell Professor in 2017~2023, Professor in 2016, Associate Professor in 2011~2016, Assistant Professor in 2005~2011) in the Department of Electrical E
ngineering and Computer Science (EECS) at The University of Tennessee at Knoxville (UTK). He is a Fellow of IEEE (Class of 2017). He is one of the original core faculty members of the NSF Engineering Research Center, CURENT, funded by NSF at $37.5 million in 10 years from 2011 to 2021. He is presently serving as the UTK Campus Director of CURENT and the lead for Large-scale Test Bed. He is also an adjunct researcher at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). His current interests include renewable energy integration, demand response, distributed energy resources, energy markets, and power system computational methods. Since 2015, he has consistently maintained a large research group of 15-20 researchers (post-docs, Ph.D. students, MS students, and visiting scholars) with typical annual research expenditure around $1.0 to $1.5 million of his own share. His research group can be found at the ENLITEN lab.

Professor Li
had worked at ABB Electrical System Consulting (ESC), a.k.a. ABB Consulting, in Raleigh, NC, from February 2001 to August 2005 as a Senior Engineer and then a Principal Engineer before joining UT. During his employment at ABB, he has been significantly involved first in power distribution system and then in power market analysis. In particular, he was the lead developer of GridView Releases 1.0 and 2.0. Presently, GridView is a major power-market simulator with a number of users at power utilities and Independent System Operators (ISOs), as well as being an internal consulting tool for ABB consultants. He had also worked as a part-time engineer at Electrical Distribution Design (EDD) Inc., Blacksburg, VA from 1998 to 2000 and an engineer intern at NARI (China) in 1997. He received his BSEE and MSEE degrees from Southeast University (China) in 1994 and 1997 respectively. He received his Ph.D. degree from Virginia Tech in 2001. He is a registered Professional Engineer (P.E.) in the state of North Carolina.
