Senior🎓
Top SchoolQi Li is a postdoctoral fellow at the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics with a PhD in Astronomy and a decade of experience building and running massively parallel hydrodynamic simulations on HPC clusters. They develop and lead projects that integrate cosmic dust physics into cosmological simulations, coupling numerical model development with observationally relevant studies of dust absorption and scattering across the ISM/CGM. Proficient in C, C++, and Python, Qi routinely optimizes production-grade code on supercomputing systems and has paid C work in private repositories, while also exploring real-time development in C# and Unity. Their background blends rigorous academic achievement (PhD GPA 3.93) with interdisciplinary collaboration across institutions in the US and Europe, and a practical focus on making complex simulations usable by broader scientific teams.
