Academic collaborations
Li/Bachman research group

Successful collaboration within academia starts with a sincere mutual respect among researchers from different fields of study. In addition, we enter our collaborative efforts with a strong desire to contribute towards the end goal of the project, with resources, time, people, intellect, and creativity. Together, our collaborative teams can truly be much greater than the sum of their parts.

We have participated in intellectual activity, in the form of active research or the active pursuit of funding, with the following distinguished faculty at UCI and other institutions. This collaboration list represents research partnerships that are currently active or were active within within the past four years.
