Bing Li is a Research Professor and Ph.D. Supervisor at the Institute of Metal Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). He also serves as the Deputy Director of the Functional Materials and Devices Research Division.

His research focuses on the fundamental study and applied development of novel material systems, including solid-state phase transition materials, magnetically frustrated materials, and thermal functional materials. Following the research approach of "materials science with large-scale scientific facilities," he extensively employs advanced techniques such as neutron scattering and synchrotron X-ray scattering to explore the underlying mechanisms of the exceptional physical properties of these materials. This understanding enables the design and optimization of material properties.

To date, Dr. Li has published over 40 academic papers in prestigious journals such as Nature, Nature Materials, and Nature Communications, garnering widespread recognition from the global scientific community. He has received multiple honors, including the Excellent Doctoral Dissertation Award of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Outstanding Award of the CAS President's Scholarship. Dr. Li has also been selected for the Young Talent Program of the National High-Level Overseas Talent Recruitment Plan and the "Xingliao Talent Program" of Liaoning Province. He is currently leading several research projects, including those funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China.
