About Me

I am an Associate Researcher (副研究员) in Professor Shiyi Chen’s Research Group (陈十一课题组), at the Eastern Institute of Technology (东方理工大学).

Before this, I co-founded LIII NETWORK (三鲤网络), an open source company. I obtained my Ph.D. in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at the University of Illinois Chicago. I am very fortunate to be advised by Prof. Shuo Han. I received my bachelors in Department of Mathematics at the Southern University of Science and Technology, where I was advised by (and received many kindly helps from) Prof. Andy Luchuan Liu.

Below, I have attached my CV. I welcome any opportunities that align with my expertise and interests. Please feel free to contact me if you are interested in our product or my research: [Curriculum Vitae] | [Contact: ysli@eitech.edu.cn]

Publications

All my publications are available as open access on Google Scholar: Yansong Li’s Google Scholar. Feel free to email me if you have any questions for my work or seek for collaboration. I am open to all collaboration opportunities.

Contributions to Open Source Projects

I co-founded LIII NETWORK (三鲤网络), an open source company that developed:

  • Mogan STEM: I am one of the maintainers of Mogan: a WYSIWYG TeX-style editor that can help users type equations 10 times faster than LaTeX. See “A quick tour of TeXmacs” for a 3 mins short introduction.

  • Goldfish Scheme: I am one of the maintainers of Goldfish Scheme, a Scheme interpreter based on S7 Scheme and C++. This interpreter matches the speed and simplicity of S7, while offering improved support for Microsoft Windows. In Goldfish Scheme, we have implemented the complete set of features from R7RS and included many functionalities inspired by the Python standard library. Goldfish Scheme will be the foundation for GNU TeXmacs/Mogan in the future.
