He has won Kent State University Outstanding Research and Scholarship award. He is Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry (FRSC). He has also been elected as a member of the European Academy of Sciences and the European Academy of Sciences and Arts. Li held visiting appointments in Department of Chemistry, Hong Kong University of Science & Technology, Hong Kong (1996-1997); Department of Protein Engineering, Life Sciences Division, Atomic Energy Commission of France, Saclay/CEA, Paris, France (1998-1999); Institute of Organic Chemistry, University of Gottingen, Germany (1999-2000); and Department of Chemistry, University of Oregon, USA (2001-2004). In February of 2004, Li joined the Liquid Crystal Institute at Kent State University as Senior Research Fellow and Director of the Organic Synthesis and Advanced Materials Laboratory, where he is also Adjunct Professor in the Chemical Physics Interdisciplinary Program. He has also honored as Guest Professor and Chair Professor at several Universities. Li, as a Principal Investigator and Project Director, has directed research projects funded by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR), the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), the Office of Navy Research (ONR), the Army Research Office (ARO), the Department of Energy (DOE), the Department of Defense Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative (MURI), the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the National Science Foundation (NSF), Ohio Board of Regents under its Research Challenge program, Ohio Third Frontier, Samsung Electronics,etc. He is the editor of 8 books (2 Wiley-VCH, 3 John Wiley & Sons, and 3 Springer books) in last eight years, and has coauthored 40 chapters including the invited entry entitled "Liquid Crystals" for the prestigious Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology and "Gold Nanorods" for Encyclopedia of Surface and Colloid Science. Presently, his Ph.D. students and postdoctoral fellows are actively involving in Li's current seven active funded projects.

研究领域

Our current research focuses on molecular design, synthesis and characterization of novel advanced materials, and synthesis and self-assembly of well-defined molecular structures on a nanometer length scale. Such materials include nature inspired light-harvesting materials, fast switching optoelectronic response materials, light-driven chiral molecular switches or motors, 1D and 3D photonic crystals, water-soluble and organo-soluble functionalized isotropic and anisotropic hybrid gold nanoparticles, muti-functional metal nanocomposites, functional organogels, shape-persistent molecules, liquid crystal monomers and their networks, functional carbon nanotubes and graphenes, elastomers, functional supramolecular polymers,and biologically active synthetic and natural compounds, all of which offer tremendous new possibility in applications such as renewable solar energy, photodisplay, dynamic photonics, intelligent energy saving devices, AFM molecular tips, sensors, drug delivery, and medical applications as well as fundamental science.
