Institute of Textiles & Clothing Institute of Textiles & Clothing 157 Qualification BA (WHTU) MA (PolyU) PhD (PolyU) ORCID ID 0000-0003-0622-4497 Dr LI Li Lilly Associate Professor Research Overview Dr Li Li has many years industrial experience in knitwear design. Now her main research interests are highly multidisciplinary, spanning design thinking, fashion design, textile studies, material science, advanced manufacturing and healthcare technology. Her research outcome is highly recognized by both academia and industry. She has published over 70 research articles on world- leading and top-tier journals, and has received 10 research related international awards. Her academic research deliverables have also been patented and successfully licensed to the industry for commercial use and mass production. To be specific, Dr Li Li adopts design thinking for non-design disciplines. She uses a completely different perspective to handle with both theoretical and practical design methods on technological development, and to tackle with complicated real-world problem in user-centric way. That means she starts research through design-driven direction and utilizes technology to serve design. The following research have used design thinking to realize them.
