Professor Keqin Li was born in Songjiang, Shanghai, China, on May 26, 1963. He graduated from Songjiang Central Elementary School in 1974, and Shanghai Songjiang No. 2 Senior High School in 1980. He received B.S. degree in computer science from Tsinghua University, Beijing, China, in 1985, and Ph.D. degree in computer science from the University of Houston, Houston, Texas, USA, in 1990. He was an assistant professor (1990-1996), an associate professor (1996-1999), a full professor (1999-2009), and has been a SUNY distinguished professor of computer science since 2009 in State University of New York at New Paltz. He was the acting chair of Department of Computer Science during Spring 2004.
Professor Li is also an Intellectual Ventures endowed visiting chair professor at the National Laboratory for Information Science and Technology, Tsinghua University, Beijing, China.
On March 24, 2009, the Board of Trustees of the State University of New York appointed Professor Keqin Li to the rank of SUNY Distinguished Professor, the state university's highest faculty designation, for his internationally recognized prolific research and exemplary scholarship and leading role in the area of parallel and distributed computing.
The SUNY Distinguished Professorship is conferred upon individuals at SUNY's 34 state-operated campuses who have achieved international prominence and a distinguished reputation within the individual's chosen field. This distinction is attained through significant contributions to the research literature. The appointment constitutes a promotion to the SUNY's highest academic rank conferred solely by the SUNY Board of Trustees at the system level.
Appointment to a Distinguished Professorship at the State University of New York (the largest comprehensive system of public higher education in USA) is a rare and difficult honor to attain. The selection criteria are rigorous and uncompromising. Eight faculty members have attained the highest faculty designation, the elite rank of Distinguished Professor, in the history of SUNY New Paltz. There are currently four SUNY Distinguished Professors on SUNY New Paltz campus.
The Distinguished Faculty medallion, specifically commissioned to commemorate this distinction, is awarded to each newly-appointed SUNY Distinguished Professor. Professor Li received this honor during the SUNY distinguished dinner and ceremony in Albany, New York, May 3, 2010.
