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.
