Senior🎓
Top SchoolXiang-yu Li is a scientist with a decade of research experience bridging atmospheric and astrophysical fluid dynamics, now based at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. His work spans turbulence, particle transport in stratified flows, climate projection modeling, and emerging interests in quantum computing applied to nonlinear dynamics and quantum turbulence. Trained with a Ph.D. from Nordita/KTH/Stockholm University and prior experimental work from The Chinese University of Hong Kong, he blends lab, theoretical, and computational approaches to complex geophysical and planetary problems. He has held multiple postdoctoral positions across Europe and the US, contributing to exoplanet atmosphere studies and moist convection research. Outside the lab he enjoys travel, basketball, and making connections, reflecting a collaborative, interdisciplinary style that often seeks unexpected links between quantum technology, machine learning, and classical turbulence.
