Background

Dr. Li is an Assistant Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery (Bioengineering) at the Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School. He has a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from The Johns Hopkins University in 1992. He completed a two and half year post-doctoral fellowship at The Johns Hopkins Medical School in orthopaedic biomechanics, and worked at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center as a Research Assistant Professor in orthopaedic biomechanics. At the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center Orthopedic Biomechanics Laboratory, he is responsible for initiation of a joint kinematics laboratory that combines both robotic technology and computer simulation. The objectives of the laboratory are to evaluate functions of normal and abnormal diarthrodial joints as well as joints after reconstruction and to improve the joint reconstruction technique and to optimize the prosthetic design. The laboratory focuses on research oriented in sports medicine, total joint replacement and trauma.
