Rate My Professor Ji Li

Ji Li is an Associate Professor in the School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences at Macquarie University, where he has held progressive academic positions since 2014, including Lecturer from January 2014 to December 2016 and Senior Lecturer from January 2017 to December 2022. Prior to returning to Macquarie, he served as Assistant Professor from August 2009 to May 2012 and Associate Professor from June 2012 to January 2014 at Sun Yat-Sen University in China. Ji Li obtained his B.A. from Sun Yat-Sen University between 2000 and 2004, followed by a Ph.D. under a cotutelle arrangement, awarded by Sun Yat-Sen University on 30 June 2009 for his thesis on multiparameter harmonic analysis and by Macquarie University on 30 November 2009 for multilinear harmonic analysis.

His research centers on harmonic analysis, encompassing singular integrals and function classes in the multi-parameter setting, multilinear singular integrals with non-smooth kernels, dyadic structures, weighted norm inequalities, and singular integrals on domains with non-doubling measures. Key publications include Maximal Functions, Littlewood-Paley Theory, Riesz Transforms and Atomic Decomposition in the Multi-parameter Flag Setting (Memoirs of the American Mathematical Society, 2022), Lower bound of Riesz transform kernels and commutator theorems on stratified nilpotent Lie groups (Journal de Mathématiques Pures et Appliquées, 2019), Sharp endpoint Lp estimates for Schrödinger groups (Mathematische Annalen, 2020), and A boundedness criterion for singular integral operators of convolution type on the Fock space (Advances in Mathematics, 2020). With over 1,700 citations and an h-index of 22, his contributions have notably influenced the field. Ji Li has secured funding as Project Leader or Chief Investigator on multiple Australian Research Council Discovery Projects, including DP220100285 (2022–2024) and DP170101060 (2017–2021). He serves as Associate Editor for the Journal of the Australian Mathematical Society since 2021, Bulletin of the Australian Mathematical Society since 2020, and AIMS Mathematics since 2019. Additionally, he has organized international workshops such as Harmonic Analysis and PDE at Macquarie University in 2017 and 2020, and co-organized harmonic analysis sessions at Australian Mathematical Society annual meetings.
