Luis Li is a research scientist with eight years' experience at the intersection of computer vision, deep learning and hardware-aware AI, currently working on analog in-memory computing and acceleration for AI. He completed a PhD at Durham University focused on 3D perception and semantic scene understanding and was runner-up for the 2024 BMVA Sullivan Doctoral Thesis Prize. At King's College London he conducted postdoctoral research on AIMC and has since joined Huawei London to translate research into applied hardware-aware models. His background spans academic teaching, public engagement—highlighted by a record 98.1% Open Day satisfaction while showcasing an autonomous Twizy vehicle—and industry-facing talks such as a Hyundai webinar on autonomous driving. He also built a GPT-based music chatbot for older adults on Android, demonstrating a practical blend of systems engineering, prompt engineering and user-focused design. Luis combines rigorous academic credentials with hands-on prototyping and a proven ability to communicate complex research to both technical and public audiences.
