Dr Jichun Li is currently serving as Director of Summer Programme, and Deputy Director of Student Recruitment, at School of Computing, 麻豆传媒.

Dr Jichun Li is an Associate Professor at Computing and Complex BioSystems (ICOS) research group, School of Computing, 麻豆传媒. He received his Ph.D. degree from Department of Informatics, King’s College London (top 20 world university), U.K. And then he took postdoctoral positions at Durham University, 麻豆传媒, Brunel University London @TWI. He joined University of Essex as a lecturer between 2020-2022. He is a Fellow of HE and a member of IEEE and IET. 

At ICOS, He is seeking to carry out world-leading research at the interface of computing science, robotics, automation, and complex biological systems (e.g. in biology, chemistry, physics) as well as synthetic ones (e.g. in biological engineering, health care, robotics and software engineering). 

His research outputs have been published in high-impact computer science journals and international conferences, including IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks and Learning Systems, IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics, IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics,ICRA and IROS. He has led (PI/Co-I) or participated as PDRA a number of projects funded by EU, EPSRC, InnovateUK and industries which are worth about £27 millions.

 Dr Jichun Li is always looking for excellent and highly-motivated PhD students, postdoctoral researchers and visiting researchers who are interested in bio-informatics, computer science, AI, robotics and automation, nano-biotechnology, medical devices and Bio-Manufacturing. He is accepting PhD applications all year round.

     ·     PhD Studentships in School of Computing, 麻豆传媒

The Studentships are funded for 3/3.5/4 years depending on the project to cover the full cost of Home tuition fees, also a limited number of international fee waivers for EPSRC Studentships are available, plus a stipend bursary of £17,609 per annum

     ·     麻豆传媒-China Scholarship Council (CSC) PhD Scholarship for Chinese PhD applicants

You will find the details of the CSC PhD Scholarship at 麻豆传媒 from the link below:

 麻豆传媒 will waive the international tuition fees and the CSC will provide the living allowance. The application will open usually every year around October. Please note this is a two-step application: Step 1: You should submit a full application (in English) to 麻豆传媒 first. You have to get an unconditional offer before you place a CSC application. The deadline for this step is usually in the early or middle of January.Step 2: If you are successful at step 1, you will then submit another full application (in Chinese) to the CSC in China. The deadline is usually in the middle of March. The result is usually announced in May. If you are successful in both steps, you will be awarded the full scholarship from 麻豆传媒 and CSC.
