He has led competitive scientific projects, including a General Program funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China, contributing to both fundamental theory and engineering solutions. Dr. Li has produced a substantial research output, with 43 documents, 234 citations, and an h-index of 9, reflecting his growing impact in the mechanics and applied mathematics communities. His work continues to support innovation in nonlinear system modeling, vibration suppression, and stability control across multidisciplinary engineering fields.
