Hao Li is currently a Postdoc researcher at University of Southern Denmark, Denmark, and a Marie-Curie Postdoc Fellow of the EU.
He received his first-class honours degree in mechanical engineering from Liverpool John Moores University (UK) and a dual bachelor's degree in mechanical design from the University of Shanghai for Science and Technology (USST) in 2016. He was enrolled in the School of Mechanical Engineering, USST for his Master's degree (2016-2019) under the supervision of Prof. Xiaohong Ding. His master's research project is about the topology optimization of high heat flux heat sinks, during which he won the 18th International Conference on Electronic Packaging Technology & High-Density Packaging (2017). In 2018, he received a full grant from the DAAD (Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst) as a research intern at Paderborn Universität in Germany. He was awarded the Outstanding Master Thesis Award by USST in 2019. He was enrolled at Kyoto University in Japan to pursue his PhD degree in Mechanical Engineering under the supervision of Prof. Shinji Nishiwaki (2019-2022), with his main research interests in the mathematical modelling of multi-physics and topology optimization methodologies. His PhD research project "Large-scale multiphysics topology optimization for thermal and fluid systems" was funded by a JSPS grant (No. JP21J13418) from the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science. He successfully defended his doctoral dissertation in July 2022 and continued his research as a JSPS postdoctoral fellow at Kyoto University. In 2023, he received funding for his EU MSCA Postdoctoral fellowship project "ADeHEx: Advanced Design of Heat Exchangers using multiscale models and machine learning" in collaboration with Associate Professor Joe Alexandersen.

Scientific & Experimental Skills
Applied mathematical modeling. In the field of structural optimization, priority should be given to understanding the mathematical and physical frames. In connection with this, part of my research work is about the underlying partial differential equation (PDE) for Multiphysics problems.
Distributed finite elements. The implementation of the large-scale 3D cases, relying on various numerical techniques such as domain decomposition, preconditioners, and distributed finite elements, requires substantial algorithmic effort. During my Ph.D. course, I constructed an open-source and easy-to-use TO framework using FreeFEM-PETSc/SLEPc-Mmg/ParMmg.
Design of experiment. During my master's course, we published one of the early experimental works on cooling channels designed based on topology optimization (TO). As the main designer of the experimental system, I gained valuable experience in the DOE which will be of great help for my future works since our target is not only limited in academia but also to bring value-added products to the real industry.
