Professor & Dean, Department of Thermal Engineering, Tsinghua University

Prof Zheng LiZheng Li is a professor and the head of the Department of Thermal Engineering, Tsinghua University, Beijing and has been working on dynamic modelling of power systems, development of monitoring and measurement technologies of thermal power plants, and analyses of energy systems and energy policies.

His key research interest is to understand and model the dynamics of Chinese energy systems. The economy the energy systems serve is experiencing the downside of an economic cycle after a continuous growing of 30 years which is a new norm to Chinese society and has great implications to energy consumptions and supplies, especially to natural gas and renewable energy development.
