Biography
My name is (Ben) Pak Ching Li and I am an associate professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Manitoba. In July 2001, I joined the University of Manitoba as an assistant professor and in 2007, I was promoted to associate professor. From July 2009 to June 2014, I served as associate head of our department for undergraduate studies. My regular duties consist mainly of research, teaching and service.
