About

Dr. Qiyuan Li is a leading researcher at the intersection of artificial intelligence, environmental economics, and sustainable development. Their work critically examines how digital transformation and AI can be leveraged to address pressing global challenges, particularly in the realms of energy efficiency and carbon emission reduction. A major contribution is the exploration of AI's dual role in both advancing green technology innovation and navigating climate policy uncertainty, especially within emerging economies. Dr. Li’s highly cited 2024 study, "Towards a high-energy efficiency world," which has garnered 67 citations, provides a foundational framework for assessing AI's impact on urban energy systems. Complementing this, their work on the "Nexus between green technology innovation and climate policy uncertainty" (53 citations) offers vital insights for policymakers. Further demonstrating their impact, Dr. Li’s research on digital transformation and low-carbon emissions, focusing on Chinese manufacturing firms from 2011 to 2020, provides empirical evidence that digitization is a powerful lever for achieving corporate carbon reduction targets. Through this body of work, Dr. Li is shaping the discourse on how technological innovation can drive a sustainable and energy-efficient future.
