Dr. Yi Li is an Associate Professor at the College of Computing and Data Science, Nanyang Technological University (NTU) and an Associate Director of the NTU Centre in Computational Technologies for Finance (CCTF). He received his BComp degree in Computer Science from the National University of Singapore in 2011, and both his MSc and PhD degrees in Computer Science from the University of Toronto in 2013 and 2018, respectively. Dr. Li has been leading the Software Reliability and Security Lab (SRSLab@NTU) since 2018. Together with his research team, he develops solutions enabling the construction of high-quality software systems that are both reliable and sustainable. His work won four ACM Distinguished Paper Awards and two Best Artifact Awards at top-tier conferences, including ASE'15, ICSME'20, FSE'21, ISSTA'22, and ASE'23. He serves on the program committees of many flagship conferences in software engineering, including ICSE, FSE, ASE, and ISSTA. He co-chaired the program committees of ICFEM'23, ICECCS'20, SEAIS'22, and ICFEM'19 Doctoral Symposium.
Dr. Li studies security, reliability, and sustainability of modern software systems. His research interests now focus on two areas: (1) sustainability of evolving software systems and (2) security and reliability of decentralized applications running on top of blockchains.
