Wen-Di Li is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Hong Kong, leading the Nanofabrication and Nanodevice Laboratory. Before joining HKU, Prof. Li received his bachelor’s and PhD degrees from Tsinghua University and Princeton University, respectively, and carried out post-doctoral research on advanced lithography for next-generation nanoelectronics at Hewlett-Packard Labs. His research interests mainly focus on high-resolution and scalable lithographic patterning and micro/nanofabrication techniques, such as helium-ion-beam lithography, nanoimprint lithography, laser interference lithography, etc. His research works cover fundamental mechanisms, process development, and instrumentation for innovative nanomanufacturing technology. His group is also devoted to apply innovative lithographic fabrication techniques in flexible electronics and biomedical devices, and explore new patterning and processing methods for emerging materials like perovskites and 2D materials. The innovations from his team have been awarded multiple gold medals at the Geneva International Exhibition of Inventions and licensed to spin-off companies, to commercialize flexible electronic devices, biomedical sensors, and nanopatterning equipment, respectively.
