Academic and Teaching Staff

Dr. Shuangqi Li is currently an Assistant Professor at the Research Centre for Grid Modernization (RCGM) within the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. He received the B.Eng. degree in Vehicle Engineering from the Beijing Institute of Technology in 2018, and the Ph.D. degree in Electronic and Electrical Engineering at the University of Bath in 2023. From 2018 to 2019, he worked as a Research Assistant at the National Engineering Laboratory for Electric Vehicles. In 2022 and 2023, he was a visiting Research Fellow with the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, and the Smart Grid Operations and Optimization Laboratory at Tsinghua University. In 2023 and 2024, Dr. Li served as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Department of Electrical Engineering at Hong Kong Polytechnic University and the Department of Systems Engineering at Cornell University.

Dr. Li received several international awards and grants. In 2022, he was awarded the Extraordinary Potential Prize from the Chinese Government Award for Outstanding Students Abroad. In 2023, he became the Principal Investigator for The Eric and Wendy Schmidt AI for Science Scheme, securing a $100,000 USD grant to support his research on AI and sustainable battery materials for transportation decarbonization. In 2024, Stanford University ranked him among the World’s Top 2% Scientists for his contributions to energy technologies.

Dr. Li's research focuses on integrating AI, big data, cloud platforms, cyber-physical systems, and optimization techniques to advance battery development and management in energy and transportation systems. His work covers areas such as AI-enabled battery design, data-driven battery management, vehicle-grid integration, hybrid energy storage for electric aircraft and vehicles, and blockchain-based energy management in integrated energy systems.

He has published over 50 high-impact journal articles, including 25 as first author, in leading journals such as IEEE Transactions on Power Systems, IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics, IEEE Transactions on Smart Grid, and Applied Energy. His research has garnered over 1,300 citations, with an h-index of 22 and 5 ESI highly cited papers. Dr. Li has also served as a guest editor for Frontiers in Energy Research and the International Journal of Electrical Power & Energy Systems, and has chaired sessions at several international conferences.

In collaboration with Prof. Siqi Bu (Deputy Director of RCGM and Associate Head of Department), Dr. Li is currently recruiting postdoctoral fellows, research assistants, and Ph.D. students for the Renewable Integration and Smartgrid Application (RISA) Research Lab. You will collaborate with international academic and project partners and deliver high-impact journal articles for the following research areas (but not limited to):

1. Application of Machine/ Deep Learning in Vehicle-to-Grid integration and Vehicle-to-Everything interaction
2. Aviation-to-Grid modeling, simulation, analysis, and operational management
3. Battery modeling, state estimation, life prediction, thermal regulation, and anti-aging energy strategies
4. Hybrid energy storage and electric powertrains for EVs and electric aircraft
5. Fuel cell modeling, control, and energy management optimization
6. Big Data, cloud platforms, cyber-physical systems, and AI applications in battery, electric vehicle, and power systems
