Welcome to Li’s Energy and Sustainability Solutions (LESS) lab, where we believe in delivering More with LESS—more sustainable energy solutions, more innovations in environmental sensing, and more breakthroughs in human health, all while using LESS energy, LESS resources, and achieving a LESS carbon footprint.
Our lab integrates cutting-edge research in energy storage systems, smart agriculture, and biomedical modeling to address some of the most critical challenges.
Our Mission
At LESS, we aim to revolutionize sustainability across energy, environmental, and health sectors by developing advanced computational models and simulations.
- Energy: Enhancing the safety, longevity, and efficiency of next-generation batteries.
- Environment: Transforming water management and agriculture through smart, data-driven solutions.
- Health: Innovating in physiological and biochemical modeling to improve patient outcomes.
At LESS, we believe LESS is More. Our bold mission is to drive more impact, more innovation, and more sustainability—with LESS.
