Welcome to my homepage! My name is Heng Li. I am currently an Associate Professor in School of Electronic Information, Central South University (CSU). Before joining CSU, I was a research assistant in Department of Computer Science, University of Victoria, Canada. My research interest is foucsed on the electric vehicles, autonomous driving, and smart robots.  I was the receipt of Best Thesis Award of Central South University and Hunan Province in 2018 and 2019, respectively. I won the Hunan Provincial Natural Science Award in 2020, and China Railway Academy Science and Technology Award in 2021.

I am looking for highly-motivated international students to work with me on the smart battery, vehicle, and robot fields. If you have the background on electrical engineering or have taken courses on feedback control, systems and control, etc, please feel free to contact me.
