Biography

Dr. Xin Li received his bachelor鈥檚 degree in physics from Nanjing University, China, his doctor鈥檚 degree in materials science and engineering at Pennsylvania State University. He performed postdoctoral research at California Institute of Technology and Massachusetts Institute of Technology before joining Harvard University in 2015 as an assistant professor of materials science at the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. He was promoted to associate professor at Harvard in 2019 and moved to the CAS Key Lab of Frontier Research & Renewable Energy at the Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences in July 2025.

His research group designs energy-related materials and devices through advanced synthesis, characterization, and simulation, with the current focus on the AI assisted design of Li and Na ion batteries, solid-state batteries, and unconventional superconductors. The group is particularly interested in obtaining a unified understanding regarding how microscopic interactions govern emergent and performance-relevant phenomena in energy storage and strongly correlated materials.
