Qi Li

Qi Li (pronouns as Chee Li, or you can use Chinese style called me lychee, one of my favorite fruits) am an Assistant Professor in the School of Business, SUNY New Paltz. She joined the New Paltz faculty in the fall of 2020. Her teaching focuses on Business Analytics, including Data Analysis, Data Visualization, and Database system. Before she jointed SUNY, she worked in Norther Kentucky University as a Data Science Program Associate Director, teaching Data Science sequential courses, including, Data Wrangling, Data Mining, Big Data, and Data Science Capstone. She also worked in Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center as a researcher to study health care information. She graduated from University of Pittsburgh and studied on Information Science.

My research interests include:

  • Business Analytics
  • Machine Learning
  • Information Extraction
  • Big Data
  • Information Retrieval
  • Natural Language Processing
  • Medical Informatics
