Research Description
Dr. Li is a Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. He earned his M.D. from Fudan University in China and his Ph.D. in Hearing and Speech Sciences from Vanderbilt University. He also completed his residency training in Otolaryngology at the Shanghai Eye and ENT Hospital.
With over a decade of experience in otolaryngology, Dr. Li’s research encompasses neurophysiology, voice disorders, hearing loss, and the integration of artificial intelligence in medicine. His recent work focuses on translational medicine and AI-driven approaches to head and neck diseases. He is currently involved in two NIH-funded clinical studies investigating novel neurostimulation therapies for airway disorders, including bilateral vocal fold paralysis and obstructive sleep apnea, and is expanding this research to include facial paralysis.
In parallel, Dr. Li leads several projects applying machine learning and big data analytics to challenges in otolaryngology and broader healthcare. He serves as the principal investigator of a recent NIH-sponsored study examining long-term risks and healthcare disparities in obstructive sleep apnea using big data. Additionally, he is spearheading the development of an AI-assisted system for automatic clinical coding—an innovation designed to enhance efficiency, accuracy, and cost-effectiveness in medical documentation and billing.
