Prof. Liang Li received B.S. in physics from Peking (Beijing) University (PKU) and entered the graduate school of University of Wisconsin-Madison at the physics department in 1999. He performed his Ph.D. dissertation research at DESY (Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron, Hamburg, Germany) on the ZEUS experiment of the HERA Collider and received the doctoral degree in 2005. Later he moved to the Fermilab (Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, Batavia, IL, USA) and worked on the D0 experiment of the Tevatron Collider as a post-doctoral scholar. He was promoted to be a research faculty of University of California, Riverside in 2010. He joined Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU) as a Distinguished Research Fellow in 2012 and became a tenured professor of physics in 2020.

Prof. Li co-founded the Collider Physics Group at SJTU. He is currently leading the SJTU g-2 research group on the Muon g-2 experiment at Fermilab. He is also a deputy leader of the SJTU ATLAS group working on the Higgs physics and top quark physics topics with ATLAS experiment at the LHC (Large Hadron Collider) at CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research).

Prof. Li played a leading role in the D0 Collaboration team who discovered the existence of the single top quark in March, 2009 (one of Tevatron's Milestones). He served as a convenor of single top working group at D0 and co-led various top quark physics sub-groups such as top quark precision measurements and top quark properties groups. He also co-led both the trigger group and the trigger board at D0. Prof. Li has made substantial constributions to the Muon g-2 experiment at Fermilab with a major role in the first results of the Muon g-2 experiment at Fermilab in 2021 and the subsequent updated results in 2023. He has been spearheading the offline analysis and computing efforts since 2018 and has held the role of the general secretary for the Muon g-2 Collaboration since 2016. He has also served in the publication committee and speaker's committee of the Muon g-2 Collaboration.
