Xiaoye Sherry Li is a researcher innumerical methods at theLawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, where she works as a senior scientist. She is responsible there for the SuperLU package, a high-performance parallel system for solving sparsesystems of linear equations by using theirLU decomposition.[1] At the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, she heads the Scalable Solvers Group.[2]
Li graduated fromTsinghua University in 1986, with a bachelor's degree in computer science. She moved to the United States for graduate study, earning a master's degree fromPennsylvania State University in 1990 and a Ph.D. in computer science from theUniversity of California, Berkeley in 1996.[2] Her doctoral dissertation,Sparse Gaussian Elimination on High Performance Computers, was supervised byJames Demmel.[3]
In 2016, she was elected as aSIAM Fellow "for advances in the development of fast and scalable sparse matrix algorithms and fostering their use in large-scale scientific and engineering applications".[2][4] With Piyush Sao andRichard Vuduc she was awarded the 2022 SIAM Activity Group on Supercomputing Best Paper Prize.[5]
