Dr. Jiamin Li received the B. Eng. degree and Ph. D degree in Electrical Engineering from the National University of Singapore (NUS), Singapore. Since August 2022, she has been with the School of Microelectronics, Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech), Shenzhen, China, as an associatet professor. Her main research interests include the circuits and system design for body area power and data network, low-power biomedical system-on-chip, energy harvesting, transfer, and power management circuit design, and ASIC design for cognition applications. She serves as a TPC member for ISSCC Student Research Preview (SRP) Committee, and a member of the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society (SSCS) Women-in-Circuit (WiC) Committee. She is a reviewer for multiple international journals and conferences.

Dr. Li welcomes individuals passionate in research to join her research group. She has openings for Ph. Ds, Masters, Postdoctoral Fellows, Research Assistants, Graduate Students, and Visiting Scholars. Interested individuals are welcome to email a copy of his/her CV to lijm3@sustech.edu.cn, with subject titled “Research position application <Position, Name>”.
