Biography

Li was born and raised in China, and educated at Peking University, graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science. While at university, he participated in programming contests representing Peking University, and placed 11th worldwide (bronze medal) in ACM ICPC 2005, and 13rd place worldwide in 2006. He went on to study at Cornell University gaining a M.S. in Computer Science.

He received his Computer Science Ph.D.[4] from UC Berkeley AMPLab, under the supervision of Prof. Ion Stoica and Prof. Scott Shenker. In the course of his Ph.D. studies, he co-created the Alluxio (a.k.a. Tachyon) open source project[5] , co-created the Apache Spark Streaming project [6] , and became an Apache Spark committer.[7]

While during his Ph.D. study, Li co-founded Alluxio, Inc,[8][9] a venture-backed companies based in San Francisco Bay Area based on his Ph.D. research.[4] The company is commercializing the same name open source technology Alluxio.[10][11][12]
