From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jingjing Li is a Chinese-American materials scientist whose research concerns advanced manufacturing processes for joining dissimilar lightweight materials,[1][2] and the effects of processing and microstructure on the performance of composite materials over time. She is a professor at Pennsylvania State University, in the Harold and Inge Marcus Department of Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering, where she heads the Materials Processing and Characterization Laboratory.[3]
Li has a bachelor's degree from Beihang University, and a master's degree from Tsinghua University, in materials science and engineering. She continued her graduate studies at the University of Michigan, where she received a second master's degree in statistics, and completed her Ph.D. in mechanical engineering,[1][4] in 2011.[3]
She became a member of the mechanical engineering department at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, starting in 2011,[1] before moving to Pennsylvania State University in 2016.[2] At Penn State, she held the title of William and Wendy Korb Early Career Professor as an associate professor,[2][5] before being promoted to full professor in 2022.[6]
