Jian Li (engineer)

Jian Li is a Chinese-American electrical engineer known for her research in signal processing, spectral density estimation, and MIMO radar, and for her books on engineering[1] She is a professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Florida, where she directs the Spectral Analysis Laboratory.[2]

Education and career

Li is originally from China, where both of her parents are engineers; she followed them into engineering despite her father's wish for her to become a physician,[1] and graduated in 1985 from Xidian University.[3] She came to Ohio State University for graduate study in electrical engineering, earned a master's degree there in 1987, and completed her Ph.D. in 1991.[1]

After completing her doctorate, she took at the position at the University of Kentucky before moving to the University of Florida two years later.[1]

Books

Li's books include:[1]

  • Radar Signal Processing and Its Applications (edited with R. Hummel, Peter Stoica, and E. G. Zelnio, Springer, 2003)
  • Spectral Analysis of Signals: The Missing Data Case (with Yanwei Wang and Stoica, Morgan & Claypool, 2005)
  • Robust Adaptive Beamforming (with Stoica, Wiley, 2005, Wiley)
  • MIMO Radar Signal Processing (edited with Stoica, Wiley, 2009)
  • Waveform Design for Active Sensing Systems: A Computational Approach (with Hao He and Stoica, Cambridge University Press, 2011)

Recognition

Li was named a Fellow of the IEEE in 2005, "for contributions to adaptive beam forming, radar imaging, and target detection".[4] She is also a Fellow of the Institution of Engineering and Technology.[1]
