Jianli Wang

Jianli Wang is Professor in the School of Mechanical Engineering, Southeast University; Ph.D. and master’s supervisor. Department: Design Science.
Biography
His research covers test-system development and sensing, machine learning, and energy-system optimization. He received his B.S. from Xi’an Jiaotong University (Energy and Power Engineering, 2005) and Ph.D. from Tsinghua University (Power Engineering and Engineering Thermophysics, 2010), then joined Southeast University. He visited Caltech (2012) and Purdue (2014). He received the First Prize for Outstanding Doctoral Dissertation of Tsinghua University (2010) and a nomination for the National 100 Outstanding Doctoral Dissertations (2014). He has led four NSFC projects and industry collaborations with Sinopec, Dongfang Electric, Kunming Institute of Physics and others.
