Lijie Li received his BSc degree from Lanzhou University, China, in 1995. From 1995 to 2000, he was a Semiconductor Process Engineer at Hebei Semiconductor Research Institute in China. From 2000 to 2005, he was a Research Fellow at the Centre for Microsystems and Photonics, University of Strathclyde working in the area of MEMS. He received his PhD degree from the University of Strathclyde in 2004. From 2006 to 2007, he was a Senior Design Engineer at the Institute for System Level Integration, Livingston, UK where he worked on integrated micro-photonic systems and MEMS sensor design. He was a Lecturer at the Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering, University of Strathclyde. In April 2010, he became a Senior Lecturer at the School of Engineering, Swansea University, UK. Dr Li is a Senior Member of IEEE, and current chair of the Technical Committee in MEMS in the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society. He serves as a member of Editorial Board for Nano-Micro Letters.

Dr Li's research has focused on developing MEMS transducers, optical and radio frequency (RF) MEMS devices and systems.  He has developed several MEMS devices that have many promising applications in optical, radio frequency (RF) and bioscience fields, such as in miniaturized optical imaging tools, miniaturized high voltage devices in power engineering and spectroscopic biosensing applications.   His current research efforts are focused on integrating MEMS devices with their interface electronics (supported by an EPSRC grant), developing novel measuring devices and systems for bioscience applications (supported by the Royal Society), and investigating micro power scavenging devices (supported by the Leverhulme Trust).  He is an author/co-author of more than 70 scientific publications.
