Kexin Li

Assistant Professor, School of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering

Kexin (Kathy) Li is an assistant professor in the School of Electrical Computer and Energy Engineering. She earned her Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in 2022 and joined ASU after working as a postdoctoral researcher at Columbia University. Kexin's research focuses on understanding and modeling the physical behavior of emerging nanoscale electronic materials and devices, to enable new system-level functionalities for high-power and high-frequency applications. Her current work involves building a framework for technology-circuit and device-circuit co-design, which requires expertise in nanoelectronics, semiconductor device physics, and circuit design. Kexin has collaborated extensively with researchers at various institutions, with published journal articles and conference proceedings. Li is selected as a 2022 EECS Rising Star.
