About Dr. Li

Memory, aging, and the communities research overlooks

Dr. Li provides neuropsychological consultations for adults with memory loss and dementia, with a particular focus on Chinese American older adults. She trains Chinese-English bilingual doctoral candidates to administer neuropsychological tests and interpret cognitive data, and her NIH/NIA-funded research works to close the gap in Alzheimer's research for Asian Americans.

She earned her PhD in clinical psychology, with a minor in clinical neuropsychology, from Yeshiva University, and completed her internship and fellowship in clinical neuropsychology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, where she is an Associate Professor of Psychiatry.
