Wei Li
Adjunct Professor, Institute for Computational and Mathematical Engineering (ICME)
BioDr. Wei Li is an accomplished AI software executive and Adjunct Professor in ICME at Stanford University. Known for scaling cutting-edge innovation into multi-billion dollar businesses, he previously served as the VP/GM of AI Software Engineering at Intel. Dr. Li also shapes the global AI ecosystem as a board member for both the PyTorch Foundation and the Linux Foundation AI&Data, and has advised numerous AI startups. He holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science from Cornell University.
Executive Impact and Commercialization: In the last decade, Wei led teams that developed full stack AI software, models, solutions, and co-designing AI hardware, which contributed to generating multi-billion-dollar AI revenue for Intel. His teams earned five Intel Achievement Awards. On performance and scale, improved AI performance by 10-100X through software acceleration of frameworks and libraries, secured the #1 ranking for 7B LLMs on Hugging Face, and supported training a 1 trillion-parameter model with Argonne National Laboratory on a 60,000-GPU supercomputer. On products, built enterprise ready AI solutions, co-designed AI-accelerated CPU/GPUs, and integrated advanced optimizations into the most popular software frameworks such as PyTorch with 100M+ annual downloads.
Ecosystem Leadership and Influence: Wei forged collaborations with Meta (PyTorch, Llama), OpenAI (Triton), Google (TensorFlow), Microsoft (DeepSpeed), Hugging Face, Accenture, and AI startups. He delivered keynotes and insights at Fortune, Bloomberg, World AI Summit, Forbes, GITEX, London AI Summit, VentureBeat, ZDNet, DataMakers Fest, New York AI Summit, and Milken Institute. Wei lectured on AI at Stanford, Harvard Business School, University of Texas-Austin, University of Chicago, University of Salerno, Technion - Israel Institute of Technology, Sapienza University of Rome, and University of Lisbon. -
Christian Linder
Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering
BioChristian Linder is a Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering and, by courtesy, of Mechanical Engineering. Through the development of novel and efficient in-house computational methods based on a sound mathematical foundation, the research goal of the Computational Mechanics of Materials (CM2) Lab at Stanford University, led by Dr. Linder, is to understand micromechanically originated multi-scale and multi-physics mechanisms in solid materials undergoing large deformations and fracture. Applications include sustainable energy storage materials, flexible electronics, and granular materials.
Dr. Linder received his Ph.D. in Civil and Environmental Engineering from UC Berkeley, an MA in Mathematics from UC Berkeley, an M.Sc. in Computational Mechanics from the University of Stuttgart, and a Dipl.-Ing. degree in Civil Engineering from TU Graz. Before joining Stanford in 2013 he was a Junior-Professor of Micromechanics of Materials at the Applied Mechanics Institute of Stuttgart University where he also obtained his Habilitation in Mechanics. Notable honors include a Fulbright scholarship, the 2013 Richard-von-Mises Prize, the 2016 ICCM International Computational Method Young Investigator Award, the 2016 NSF CAREER Award, and the 2019 Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE).
