Hui Li is a senior scientist in the Nuclear, Particle, Astrophysics and Cosmology group, Theoretical Division at the Los Alamos National Laboratory. He has engaged in plasma astrophysics research for the past three decades on understanding the physical processes responsible for the origin of cosmic magnetic fields, plasma turbulence, particle energization, reconnection, etc. He has published widely on topics related to astrophysical disks and jets around black holes, intra-cluster medium turbulence and magnetic fields, planet formation disks, and solar wind turbulence. He received in B.S. in Physics from Peking University in 1990, his PhD in Theoretical Astrophysics from Rice University in 1996. After a Director’s Postdoc Fellowship and an Oppenheimer Fellowship at the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), he has been a research scientist at LANL to the present. He was elected as a Fellow of the American Physical Society in 2015 and is also a Laboratory Fellow at LANL. He maintains many collaborations around the world on various topics related to plasma astrophysics, particularly enjoying working with students and young scientists on frontier topics in astrophysics. |
