Xiaodong
(Chris) Li
CEC
Distinguished
Professor
Dr. Li's research and interests include
nanofabrication,
nanostructure,
nanostructured
materials/devices,
reliability
of
nanostructures/devices
and
nanomechanical
characterization.
Dr. Li
joined the
Department
of
Mechanical
Engineering
in
August 2002
and
initiated a
unique
nanotechnology
program with
a
systems-level
focus
spanning
synthesis of
nanomaterials,
structural,
mechanical
and
tribological
characterization,
nanomechanics,
integration
and
manufacturing
of
nanostructures
and
nanodevices,
biomechanics,
and imaging
and
mechanical
testing of
cells and
tissues. The
Nanostructures
and
Reliability
Laboratory
is well
equipped
with state
of the art
nano
instruments
such as an
atomic force
microscope,
a
nanoindenter,
a
nanomanipulator,
a
nanomechanical
tester, and
a
nanomaterials
synthesis
furnace. The
research and
education
activities
have been
heavily
sponsored by
National
Science
Foundation,
Army
Research
Office,
NASA,
DOE/National
Laboratories,
Petroleum
Research
Fund, Intel,
GE Energy,
General
Motors
Cooperation,
Westinghouse,
South
Carolina
Space
Consortium,
and South
Carolina
EPSCoR
office. His
publications
have been
cited over
3,000 times.
His
publication
H-index
factor is 26. Nanotechnology
concept and
research
advances
have been
introduced
to graduate
and
undergraduate
students
through
existing
courses such
as
Engineering
Materials -
EMCH
371 and
Manufacturing
Processes -
EMCH
377, and
developing a
new course
such as
Nanomaterials
–
EMCH
778. The
Nanostructures
and
Reliability
Laboratory
has been
actively
sponsoring
graduate and
undergraduate
students to
work on
research
projects in
nanotechnology.
