Dr. Long Li graduated from Nanjing University and subsequently conducted postdoctoral research at the University of Science and Technology of China. He is currently an Associate Professor at Nanchang University.

His research centers on the frontier scientific problem of stellar formation and evolution. His earlier work focused primarily on catastrophic explosive events in the late stages of stellar evolution and the properties of the corresponding compact objects. His research is dedicated to the theoretical modeling and observation of high-energy astrophysical phenomena, including gamma-ray bursts, supernovae, luminous fast blue optical transients, and fast radio bursts. Both his observational and modeling work span a broad range of the electromagnetic spectrum, from high-energy gamma rays and X-rays to low-frequency radio waves, as well as non-electromagnetic signals such as neutrinos, cosmic rays, and gravitational waves.

To date, he has published more than 50 SCI-indexed papers, including 8 papers as first author or corresponding author. All of these papers have appeared in leading international astrophysics journals, and two of them were selected as research highlights (AAS Nova) by the American Astronomical Society.

The research projects he has led include: the Regional Science Fund Project of the National Natural Science Foundation of China (January 2026 to December 2028, RMB 300,000), the Youth Science Fund Project of the Natural Science Foundation of Jiangxi Province (June 2025 to June 2027, RMB 100,000), the Young Scientists Fund Project of the National Natural Science Foundation of China (January 2024 to December 2025, RMB 200,000), the General Program of the China Postdoctoral Science Foundation (completed), and the Youth Innovation Fund of the University of Science and Technology of China (completed).
