Rate My Professor Huaizhong Li

Dr. Huaizhong Li is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Engineering and Built Environment, specifically in Mechanical Engineering and Industrial Design, at Griffith University. He earned a B.E. degree from Tsinghua University in 1988, an M.E. degree from Xi'an Jiaotong University in 1991, and a Ph.D. from the National University of Singapore. Prior to his current position, he worked as a Lecturer in the School of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering at the University of New South Wales from January 2011 to June 2014. Dr. Li possesses extensive industrial and academic experience in mechanical engineering and holds a Graduate Certificate in Higher Education from Griffith University. He is recognized as a Fellow of the International Academy of Engineering and Technology (AET) and a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA).

Dr. Li's research specializations include advanced manufacturing technologies, machining technologies, structural and machine dynamics, vibration analysis, condition monitoring, control systems, mechatronics, and experimental modal analysis. His work focuses on areas such as chatter detection in micro-end-milling processes, micro-milling mechanics, vibration-assisted milling, surface texture fabrication, condition monitoring of rolling element bearings, footbridge vibration monitoring, and timber floor vibration performance. He has authored over 116 refereed technical articles, achieving an h-index of 30 in Scopus and 33 in Google Scholar. Notable publications include 'A Review of the Intelligent Condition Monitoring of Rolling Element Bearings' (2024), 'Extraction and Assessment of Features Using Shannon Entropy and Rényi Entropy for Chatter Detection in Micro Milling' (2025), 'A comprehensive review of micro-milling: fundamental mechanics, challenges, and future prospective' (2025), and 'Detection of Signal Integrity Issues in Vibration Monitoring Using One-Class Support Vector Machine' (2024). Dr. Li has won the prestigious Thatcher Bros Prize from the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, UK, twice—in 2015 and 2019—and has been ranked in the World’s Top 2% Scientists by Stanford University. He has supervised 14 higher degree by research students to completion and serves as Chief Investigator in the ARC Advance Timber Hub, studying dynamic characteristics and vibration damping in lightweight timber structures.
