Geophysics from the
University of Science and Technology of China in 2005. She earned an M.S. and Ph.D. in Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences from the
University of California, Los Angeles in 2007 and 2010, respectively. Following her Ph.D., she remained at the University of California, Los Angeles as an associate researcher until 2016, when she moved to Boston University. Li's research focuses on waves in Earth's magnetosphere, modeling Earth's radiation belts, and examining radiation belts on
Jupiter. In 2019, she received funding to examine plasma waves called 'whistler mode waves', which are high-energy electrons in Earth's radiation belts. ==Research==
