Professor of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, doctoral supervisor, born in June in Huangxian County, Shandong Province (now Longkou, Shandong Province), 1945, Han nationality. 1970 graduated from Tsinghua University with a bachelor's degree in mechanical manufacturing. 1980 graduated from Huazhong university of science and technology with a master's degree in metalworking. 1984 went to Birmingham University as a visiting scholar. He is also the director of the National Academic Committee of Plastic Processing Theory, the vice chairman of China Mould Industry Association, the member of the National Teaching Steering Committee of Materials Science and Engineering, and the vice chairman of Hubei Mould Industry Association. Professor Li has been engaged in the teaching and scientific research of plastic processing theory and technology for a long time, and his main research direction is.

It includes plastic forming simulation, mold CAD /CAE/CAPP/CAM, computer integrated manufacturing (CIMS) and reverse engineering. He has successively completed scientific research projects such as fine blanking die CAD/CAM, blanking die CAD/CAM, color TV part die CAD/CAM, panel die CAD/CAPP/CAM, CIMS application demonstration project, etc. Its research results have promoted the technical progress of the mold industry and achieved remarkable benefits in practical application. He has won many scientific and technological progress awards from the Ministry of Machinery Industry, the Ministry of Electronics Industry and the Ministry of Education, including the first prize 1, four second prizes and the third prize 1. As the chief designer, he completed the national 863 plan project-CIMS application project of Dongfeng Motor Company, and established the CAD/CAPP/CAM integrated system of automobile body and panel mold, which shortened the design and manufacturing cycle of automobile body and integral mold by more than one year. His research achievements won the first prize of GM China Scientific and Technological Achievements and the leading prize of SME University in 1998 and 1999 respectively. He has published 7 books, including CAD of Mould, CAD/CAM of Mould and Computer Application in Near Net Forming Operation, and published more than 20 papers/kloc-0.
