Biography
editLi was born and raised in China. He attended Peking University, where he received a BS in Computer Science. While at university, he participated in programming contests representing Peking University, and placed 11th worldwide (bronze medal) in ACM ICPC 2005 and 13rd place worldwide in 2006. He then studied at Cornell University, where he received a MS in Computer Science.
He received his Computer Science PhD[1] from the UC Berkeley AMPLab, under the supervision of Prof. Ion Stoica and Prof. Scott Shenker. During his PhD, he co-created the Alluxio (a.k.a. Tachyon) open-source project,[4] which was commercialized by San Francisco Bay Area venture-backed company Alluxio, Inc.[1][5][6][7][8][9] He was a co-founder of Alluxio, Inc.
During his PhD, he also co-created the Apache Spark Streaming project[10] and became an Apache Spark committer.[11]
