Summary
Feng Li is an informatics advisor and PhD-trained researcher with 11 years of experience building and optimizing high-performance computing and scientific workflow systems for large-scale drug discovery on Cloud and HPC platforms. At Eli Lilly he progressed from senior lead engineer to advisor, applying model-driven approaches to accelerate discovery workflows and productionize performant compute pipelines. His doctoral work and IBM Almaden internships produced practical systems—KVFS, NVMeStore, and CO-PAGER—that demonstrate deep expertise in storage-aware performance modeling and userspace I/O for data-intensive workloads. Comfortable bridging research and engineering, he blends rigorous performance analysis with hands-on implementation to tune end-to-end scientific workloads in real-world production environments. Based in Indianapolis, he brings a rare combination of academic rigor and applied systems engineering to drug discovery infrastructure.
