Jinghai Li is Professor of Institute of Process Engineering, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), President of International Panel of Mesoscience (IPM), and President of Beijing Association for Science and Technology. He was President of National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) from 2018 to 2023, Vice President of CAS from 2004 to 2016, Vice Chairman of China Association for Science and Technology (CAST) from 2011 to 2021, Vice President of International Science Council (ISC) from 2018 to 2021, Vice President of International Council for Science (ICSU) from 2014 to 2018, and President of Asian Association of Science Academics (AASA) from 2007 to 2010. He holds memberships from CAS, TWAS (The World Academy of Sciences), SATW (Swiss Academy of Engineering Sciences), RAEng (Royal Academy of Engineering), ATSE (Australian Academy of Technology and Engineering), and RS (The Royal Society).
Jinghai Li established the Energy-Minimization Multi-Scale (EMMS) model for gas-solid systems. The model has been extended to many different complex systems and generalized into the EMMS paradigm of computation featuring the logical & structural similarity between problem, modeling, software and hardware, which has been implemented by constructing a supercomputer with capacity of 1 Pflops and has been used widely in chemical and energy industries. He is promoting Mesoscience based on the EMMS principle of compromise in competition (CIC) as an interdisciplinary science in different disciplines and fields.
