Dr Jiguang Li
| Biography | Please see my Personal website from the link below: https://jgftlt.github.io/ I am currently a Research Fellow at the North of England Robotic Innovation Centre, University of Salford, UK. I received my Ph.D. degree in Electronic Engineering at University of Virginia, USA, in 2012. I have not only several years of academic working experience but also have 10+ years of industrial working experience in the UK, China, and USA. I am a member of IEEE, Optical Society of America，and Society of Materials.I am also a member of Industrial Membership Committee, Asia-Pacific Signal and Information Processing Association （APSIPA ）. I am an enthusiastic and driven engineer equipped with broad research skills to think innovatively, especially in optic sensor design, neural networks, physical robotics systems, control and automation, managerial experience, and a dedication to securing funding, and successfully delivery of multi-disciplinary projects and high quality, peer-review journal publications. Most recently, my research is focused on AI for robotics, and optic sensing and control for autonomous vehicles. I am proud of my project management skills both in academic and industries both in the USA and China, which is evidenced by leading and successful delivery of various projects from funding organizations and industrial partners. I am also the founder of a company Hangzhou Fortune Light Optical Technology Ltd, a company specializing in bespoke design of optical sensing, robotic and automation systems, and AI for various applications. I naturally love teaching. I take pride in my teaching experiences for various roles as a teaching assistant, a visiting professor, and a mentor highly recommended by the students.
