Chi Li is a Research Associate Professor and power-electronics-focused researcher with a PhD from Virginia Tech and eight years of hands-on experience implementing, controlling, and stabilizing grid-tied converters and solid-state transformers. Based at Tsinghua University’s State Key Laboratory and Energy Internet Research Institute, he has led practical developments from a 3600V/20A SiC MOSFET power module and high-density medium-frequency transformers to advanced modulation and soft-switching topologies for traction, PV and fuel-cell applications. His work bridges rigorous analytical models—dq-frame impedance and leakage inductance optimization—with scaled experimental prototypes, providing rare end-to-end validation of converter interactions and STATCOM behavior under VSM control. Known for cutting losses and shrinking size in transformer designs, he brings both academic depth and device-level engineering savvy to large power-conversion challenges.
