Xiaodong Li received his Ph.D. degree in artificial intelligence from University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand. His research interests include machine learning, evolutionary computation, multiobjective optimization, multimodal optimization (niching), swarm intelligence, data mining/analytics, deep learning, journey planning, math-heuristic methods for optimization. He serves as an Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Evolutionary Computation, Swarm Intelligence (Springer), and International Journal of Swarm Intelligence Research. He is a founding member of IEEE CIS Task Force on Swarm Intelligence, a former vice-chair of IEEE Task Force on Multi-modal Optimization, and a former chair of IEEE CIS Task Force on Large Scale Global Optimization. He is the recipient of 2013 ACM SIGEVO Impact Award and 2017 IEEE CIS "IEEE Transactions on Evolutionary Computation Outstanding Paper Award". He is an IEEE Fellow. He is also a member of ARC (Australian Research Council) College of Experts (2023 - 2025).
