Biography
Li was born in
In 1963, he was admitted to Tsinghua University, majoring in metal hot working process and equipment. After graduating in 1968, he was assigned to Lingwu Farm Tractor Repair Factory in northwest China's Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region. In 1974, he was transferred to Qianjiang Machinery Factory in central China's Hubei and appointed leader of its Tooling Technology Group. After resumption of college entrance examination, in 1978, he entered Huazhong Institute of Technology (now Huazhong University of Science and Technology), and taught there after graduation. In 1986, he went to Cornell University in the United States to engage in research on computer simulation technology of injection mold forming process, and developed commercial two-dimensional cooling system software in AC-Tech company.[3] He returned to China in 1986 and continued to teach at the Central China University of Science and Engineering (now Huazhong University of Science and Technology). He was promoted to associate professor in 1987 and to full professor in 1991.
