Early life and education

[edit]

Li was born in Beijing, China in 1969. She graduated from Beijing University of Technology in 1992, and did an internship at Environment Canada.[1] She received a PhD in Chemistry from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2000, under the direction of Jonathan Sweedler.[2]

Career

[edit]

From 2000 to 2002, Li conducted postdoctoral research at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (Richard Smith), Brandeis University (Eve Marder), and University of Illinois (Jonathan Sweedler).[2][3] She then joined University of Wisconsin-Madison as Assistant Professor in 2002. She was promoted to Associate Professor in 2008, and Full Professor in 2012.[3] She has been appointed as a Vilas Distinguished Achievement Professor since 2015,[4] and Charles Melbourne Johnson Distinguished Chair in Pharmaceutical Sciences.[1]

She serves on the US Human Proteome Organization Board of Directors,[5] Chinese American Society for Mass Spectrometry Board of Directors,[6] and on the editorial board for Journal of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry,[7] Journal of Pharmaceutical Analysis[8] and Frontiers in Biology.[9] She was the President of the Chinese American Society for Mass Spectrometry (2013-2015),[10] and an Associate Editor for Analytical Methods (2013-2016).[11][12]
