Dr. Jiaqiong Li joins the Lyles College of Engineering as an assistant professor of mechanical engineering in 2026. She receivedher Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from the University of Georgia in 2024, her M.S. from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, and her B.S. from the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China. Prior to joining Fresno State, she was an Assistant Professor at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh.

At Fresno State, Li directs the IMPACT Lab, which stands for Intelligent Measurement, Perception and Action. Her lab works across the full chain from sensing to decision-making to action, with applications in advanced manufacturing, intelligent agriculture and robotics. Li looks forward to extending this work into the Central Valley’s manufacturing and agricultural industries while involving Fresno State students in hands-on research.
