Dr. Cheng Li

Please look at this page if you're interested to know about myself. Please refer to the Research Page for a brief introduction to my research and lists of my students/postdocs. More details about my research and my group can be found on the website of my group. My courses are listed on the Teaching Page. You're welcome to Contact me, if you're interested to visit and talk with me on my research or courses, but before that you may want to consult my Weekly Schedule and Travel plan.

A more complete list of my recent publications can be found on the website of my group.
