About
Dr Ji Li is currently a Lecturer in River Engineering in Zienkiewicz Centre for Computational Engineering, Swansea University. Before joining Swansea in 2019, he was a Research Fellow in Wuhan University, China. He obtained PhD degree from Heriot-Watt University, UK, where he also worked as a Research Associate following the completion of PhD study. He also received a PhD degree of Hydraulics and River Engineering in Wuhan University.
Ji’s main research interest is mathematical modelling of shallow water-sediment flows in surface water environments, including fluvial river flows and geophysical mass flows such as debris flows and landslides. His research vision is to develop a physically-enhanced high-performance numerical model to simulate and understand the hydro-sediment-morphodynamic processes, and apply it to mitigate risks due to flooding, landslides and debris flows.
