Kai Ming Li serves as Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Purdue University's College of Engineering, having joined Herrick Laboratories in 2005 after previously holding a full professorship at Hong Kong Polytechnic University (1998-2005) and faculty positions at the UK's Open University (1991-1998).
His academic credentials include a B.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of London (1982) and a Ph.D. from the University of Cambridge (1987).
- University of London: B.Sc. Mechanical Engineering (1982)
- University of Cambridge: Ph.D. (1987)
Professor Li's research spans physical acoustics, computational acoustics, and environmental applications including classroom acoustics, speech intelligibility in built environments, and outdoor sound propagation. His current work at Purdue focuses on environmental acoustics—particularly transport noise prediction/abatement—and ecological acoustics research for monitoring natural and human-produced environmental sounds. He maintains active industry and government-sponsored research programs investigating noise impacts on environments.
He serves on the Editorial Board of Applied Acoustics, a premier journal covering acoustics applications in building design, transport noise, machinery noise, and environmental noise engineering.
Professor Li has published over 100 papers in archival journals and refereed conference proceedings, though specific titles aren't detailed in the source material. His research integrates computational modeling with environmental monitoring through Purdue's Ecological Acoustics Research team and Herrick Laboratories infrastructure.
