Peng Li received the Ph. D. degree in electrical and computer engineering from Carnegie Mellon University in 2003. He is presently Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Texas A&M University, and an affiliated faculty member of Texas A&M Institute for Neuroscience. His research interests are in integrated circuits and systems, brain-inspired computing, electronic design automation, and computational brain modeling. He has authored and co-authored over 200 publications, and edited two books.
Li’s work has been recognized by four IEEE/ACM Design Automation Conference (DAC) Best Paper Awards in 2003, 2008, 2011, and 2016, an Honorary Mention Best Paper Award from the Neural Systems and Applications Technical Committee of IEEE Circuits and Systems (CAS) Society in 2016, an IEEE/ACM William J. McCalla ICCAD Best Paper Award in 2012, two SRC Inventor Recognition Awards, two MARCO Inventor Recognition Awards, and an NSF CAREER Award. He received the Prolific Author Award and Top 10 Author in Fifth Decade Award from DAC. At Texas A&M, he was honored by the ECE Outstanding Professor Award, and was named a TEES Fellow and a William O. and Montine P. Head Faculty Fellow by the College of Engineering.
Li was on the editorial boards of the IEEE Transactions on Computer-Aided Design of Integrated Circuits and Systems and IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems II, and has served many conferences as chair or TPC member. He was the Vice President for Technical Activities of the IEEE Council on Electronic Design Automation from Jan. 2016 to Dec. 2017. Li consulted for two silicon-valley startups and Intel. He is a Fellow of the IEEE.
