Dongshuai Li

Assistant Professor,

Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e)

Dongshuai Li is an Assistant Professor at Department of Applied Physics and Science Education (APSE), TU/e

Currently she is the Principal Investigator(PI) of Danmarks Frie Forskningsfond (DFF) Sapere Aude Project: Studying Lightning Processes with Neuromorphic Imaging on Microsecond Time Scales(NEURO-Lightning)

Dongshuai received her PhD degree from Nanjing University of Information Science & Technology (NUIST), China in 2016

  • From Oct. 2014 to Sep. 2015, she worked as a research assistant with Dr. Farhad Rachidi and Dr. Marcos Rubinstein at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) - EMC Lab in Lausanne, Switzerland.

  • From Feb. 2016 to Dec. 2017, she worked as a research assistant with Dr. Fei Liu at Earth System Modelling Centre and Climate Dynamics Research Centre in Nanjing, China.

  • From Jan. 2018 to Dec. 2021, she joined the TRAsient Plasmas in Planetary Atomospheres (TRAPPA) group as a Postdoctoral Researcher at Instituto Astrofísica Andalucía, IAA-CSIC in Granada, España. Where she was supervised by Dr. Alejandro Luque, mainly working on the ERC Project Lightning propagation and high-energy emissions within coupled multi-model simulations.

  • In Jan. 2022, she moved to Denmark at DTU Space, Technical University of Denmark to work with Dr. Tosten Neubert and Dr. Olivier Chanrion as a Postdoctoral Researcher on the Danmarks Frie Forskningsfond (DFF) Project Investigation of Blue Corona Discharges at the Top of Thunderclouds.

  • In Nov. 2023, she got the DFF Sapere Aude Project Studying Lightning Processes with Neuromorphic Imaging on Microsecond Time Scales (NEURO-Lightning), where she starts to focus on studying inner plasma physics of lightning by using neuromorphic imaging technique.

  • In May. 2025, she got a tenure position as an Assistant Professor at TU/e

Her main research interests cover a wide range of topics related to Atmospheric Science, Lightning Physics, Computational Electromagnetics and etc.

During her free time, she likes traveling, hiking, camping and kayaking.
