Research Interests

The Cardiovascular Engineering, Modeling and Devices (CVMD) group collaborates globally with universities, medical centers and industries. Current research interests focus on cardiac and vascular mechanics, hemodynamics of hypertension and heart failure, modeling for diagnostic and therapeutic applications, noninvasive, wearable, mobile and cardiac assist devices, as well as trans-catheter, neuro-engineering and controlled drug delivery technology. Prof. Li has advised more than 95 Ph.D. and M.S. Biomedical Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering students and mentored over 190 Senior Design students.
