About Me

Dr. Chao Li is an Associate Professor in the Division of Engineering Technology under the School of Architecture and Engineering Technology (SAET) at Florida Agricultural & Mechanical University (FAMU). He serves as the Program Area Coordinator (PAC) for the Electronic Engineering Technology (EET) program. Dr. Li’s primary research area is in electrical engineering, including but not limited to microcontroller, instrumentation, digital design, and robotics. He is also keen on the engineering education research. He has received funded research in these areas from a number public and private agencies. He also has authored and co-authored articles in a number of technical journals and conferences proceedings in these fields.

Dr. Li has been working with K-12 educators to host VEX Robotics Competition in Tallahassee. He has helped to bring VEX Robotics Competition to FAMU’s campus. Every spring, FAMU welcomes around 30 robotics teams from surrounding area. A lot of students in the local area schools have started participating in the events ever since.

Dr. Li is registered Professional Engineering (PE) in Florida. He is also a senior member of IEEE and a member of ASEE.  

Dr. Li received his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Florida International University. He also has a MBA degree from Florida State University.
