Dr. Gang Li Professor, Space Science Contact 320 Sparkman DriveCramer Research HallRoom 2037Huntsville, AL 35899 Campus Map 256.961.7311gang.li@uah.edu Biography Dr. Li graduated from the department of Physics in Indiana University with a Ph.D in Nuclear Theory in 2000. He also obtained a Master degree of computer science at the same time. His Ph. D dissertation concerns neutrino transport in supernova core. He started work in space physics when he did his postdoc from 2001 to 2005 in Univ. of California Riverside, with Dr. Zank. He joined Space Science Lab in Univ. of California Berkeley in 2006, and became a faculty member in the Dept. of Physics at UAH in 2008. Dr. Li was a funding member of the Dept. of Space Science which inaugurated in 2014. He led the curriculum development of SPA526 and SPA622, and is responsible for the current revision of SPA771 and SPA796. He serves as the chair of the graduate committee. He is interested in a variety of problems in solar physics and space plasma physics. His recent work focuses on, 1) particle acceleration and transport in the heliosphere and beyond, and includes both observational and theoretical aspects; and 2) various structures in the solar wind and solar wind magnetic field turbulence. His research is well supported by external funding. He is a winner of the NSF CAREER award in 2008 and served as Principal Investigator on multiple NASA grants, as well as co-Investigator on numerous other projects.
