Dr. Donghui Li is a CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) expert and Process Metallurgist, who
has 20 years’ experience in heat and mass transfer, turbulent fluid flow, thermodynamics and
CFD applications in process metallurgy, specialized in metal continuous casting process,
including extra-thin strip casting, slab and billet casting. He also has solid knowledge of
electromagnetic theory and its application in steelmaking and continuous casting process.
With the skills in hand-on mechanics and fundamental knowledge of physics, Donghui Li is able
to design, assemble and build complex experimental systems, including full scale water
modelling system, metal delivery system, strip casting system, scaffolding system and data
acquisition system, which help in root cause analysis and propose value-added solutions for
industrial companies. He is currently working as a Research Associate at Process Metallurgy
Research Labs (PMRL) of University of Toronto, with more than 30 publications to his credit.
