  • Biography

    Na Li is a visiting research scientist at MERL from July 2024. She is a Winokur Family Professor of Electrical Engineering and Applied Mathematics at Harvard University. She received her Ph.D. degree in Control and Dynamical systems from California Institute of Technology in 2013 and was a postdoctoral associate at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology 2013-2014. Her research lies in the control, learning, and optimization of networked systems, including theory development, algorithm design, and applications to real-world cyber-physical societal system. She has been an associate editor for IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, Systems & Control Letters, IEEE Control Systems Letters, and served on the organizing committee for a few conferences.
