About Me
I am Lei Li, a Computational Scientist from the Nuclear Sciences Division (NSsD), Energy and Environment Directorate (EED) at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL). I received Ph.D. degree in Civil Engineering with an emphasis on computational mechanics from the University of Notre Dame in 2018, under the supervision of Prof. Kapil Khandelwal. After that, I joined the Structural Engineering Department at University of California, San Diego as a postdoctoral scholar under the supervision of Prof. Hyunsun Alicia Kim. I joined PNNL since 2020. Before came to the U.S., I have obtained my B.E. degree in Civil Engineering and M.S. degree in Structural Engineering both from Hunan University, China, under the guidance of Prof. Yan Xiao. My main research focuses on advancing the scientific knowledge and development of computational models of multiscale, multiphysics problems, and to incorporate the corresponding high fidelity computational models into topology optimization for optimal design-seeking applications in broad areas of structural engineering, mechanical engineering, material science, nuclear engineering, and advanced manufacturing.
