Biography

    Dr. Changzhi Li received the B.S. degree in electrical engineering from Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China, in 2004, the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from the University of Florida, Gainesville, FL, in 2007 and 2009, respectively.
    In the summers of 2007 and 2008, he worked at Alereon Inc., Austin, TX, on ultrawideband (UWB) transceiver. In the summer of 2009, he worked at Coherent Logix Inc., Austin, TX, on software-defined radio. His research interests include analog integrated circuits, microwave/millimeter-wave circuits, wireless sensor, frequency synthesizers, and biomedical applications of microwave/RF.
    Dr. Li received IEEE MTT-S Graduate Fellowship Award in 2008. He is the advisor/author/co-author of several best paper awards.
