Adjunct Professor, Institute for Computational and Mathematical Engineering (ICME)

BioDr. Wei Li is an AI executive and Stanford University Adjunct Professor operating at the intersection of AI strategy, Precision AI Governance, and enterprise scale. Wei works on Innovation to Impact (I2I) and Trusted AI—turning computational, AI, and interdisciplinary ideas into deployable systems, scalable products, and measurable business and clinical outcomes.

Currently, Wei collaborates across Stanford’s Schools of Engineering and Medicine, focusing on the deployment of AI in high-stakes environments where technical capability must meet rigorous standards for safety, ethics, and human-centric design.
