Profile
Biography
I am currently Senior Lecturer (Associate Professor) at Computing and Complex BioSystems (ICOS) research group, School of Computing, Newcastle University. I am also a visiting fellow at University of Essex. I received my Ph.D. degree from Department of Informatics, King’s College London (top 20 world university), U.K. And then he took postdoctoral positions at Durham University, Newcastle University, Brunel University London @TWI. I joined University of Essex as a lecturer between 2020-2022. He is a Fellow of HE and a member of IEEE and IET. .I am a Fellow of HE and a member of IEEE and IET. At Newcastle, I am seeking to carry out world-leading research at the interface of computing science, robotics, automation, and complex biological systems (e.g. in biology, chemistry, physics) as well as synthetic ones (e.g. in biological engineering, health care, robotics and software engineering). My research outputs have been published in high-impact computer science journals and international conferences, including IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks and Learning Systems, IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics, IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics,ICRA and IROS. He has led (PI/Co-I) or participated as PDRA a number of projects funded by EU, EPSRC, InnovateUK and industries which are worth about £27 millions. I am always looking for excellent and highly-motivated PhD students, postdoctoral researchers and visiting researchers who are interested in bio-informatics, AI, robotics and automation, nano-biotechnology, BCI, medical devices, sensors and Bio-Manufacturing. We are accepting PhD applications all year round. Please contact me via : Jichun.Li@ncl.ac.uk
