Dr. Liming Li received her PhD degree in biomedical engineering from Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences & Peking Union Medical College in 1998. Since April 1998, Dr. Li had been a Postdoctoral Fellow of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Sciences (JSPS) at Kyushu Institute of Technology, Japan, and a foreigner scientist at the University of Tokyo. From 2007-2015, she had been an associated professor in Shanghai Jiao Tong University, and has become a professor since 2016. Her research has been supported by Shanghai Pujiang Program and the National Natural Science Foundation of China. She is also a PI of the National Basic Research Program of China (973 Program). She has published over 90 peer-reviewed journal papers and conference proceedings, and four international book chapters. Her main research directions include neural engineering, neuromodulation, neural prostheses and rehabilitation of neural functions, neural mechanisms and medical application of electrical stimulation, and neural informatics.
