Associate Professor Liwei Li holds a position at the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Sydney. She is a SOAR Fellow and a member of the Net Zero Institute and the Sydney Nano Institute. Her research focuses on microwave photonics, photonic sensing, and integrated photonics, with applications in nanotechnology and fiber optics. Li has been recognized with awards including the Sydney Research Accelerator (SOAR) Prize (2022), Sydney Equity Prize (2022), and multiple teaching commendations (2016–2021). She advises PhD students on projects like microwave circuits for silicon carbide integrated photonics and high-resolution optical spectrum analysis.
Her research explores cutting-edge topics such as machine learning-enhanced photonic sensors, silicon carbide photonic integration, and athermal sensor design. Key contributions include work on Kerr nonlinearity in silicon carbide platforms and optical bistability in microring resonators. Li has also pioneered error-correction techniques for multi-parameter sensing using cascaded photonic crystal resonators. Her work bridges optical signal processing with practical applications in sensing and telecommunications, leveraging silicon photonics and advanced materials like cubic silicon carbide.
Teaching includes courses like Signals and Systems (ELEC2302) and Electrical and Optical Sensor Design (ELEC5516). She has received grants for projects such as 'Advanced Photonics Packaging' and collaborates on interdisciplinary initiatives like hydrogen gas sensing for clean energy. Li’s lab is part of the University of Sydney Nanoscience Hub, emphasizing prototype development and real-world impact.
