Shan Li, PhD

Dr. Shan Li is an Assistant Professor in the College of Health at Lehigh University and an affiliated faculty member in the Teaching, Learning, and Technology program in the College of Education. He holds a Ph.D. in Educational Psychology (Learning Sciences) from McGill University and an M.S. in Educational Technology from Beijing Normal University. 

Dr. Li is a learning scientist and educational technologist whose research sits at the intersection of learning sciences and health education. His work aims to create innovative, evidence-based solutions that enhance learning and well-being. His work integrates cutting-edge applications (e.g., advanced learning technologies), analytical techniques (such as learning analytics, machine learning, and educational data mining), and various theoretical frameworks (e.g., self-regulated learning and behavior change theories) to design and study interventions across both formal and informal educational settings. 

Dr. Li’s research focuses on (1) developing and implementing advanced learning technologies to support health education and STEM learning, (2) applying learning analytics to uncover patterns in learners’ cognitive and behavioral processes, and (3) advancing theoretical understanding of how learning sciences principles can be applied to promote behavioral change and health outcomes.
