Stan Z. Li has published over 400 papers in international journals and conferences, authored, and edited 9 books, with over 40,000 Google Scholar citations. Among these are Markov Random Field Models in Image Analysis (Springer), Handbook of Face Recognition (Springer) and Encyclopedia of Biometrics (Springer). He served as an associate editor of IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence and organized more than 100 international conferences or workshops among which he was a co-chair of International (Joint) Conference on Biometrics for 2007, 2009, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2018.
Stan Z. Li is an expert in face recognition, biometrics, and intelligent video surveillance. The EyeCU face recognition system he developed at Microsoft Research Asia was demonstrated by Bill Gate during a CNN interview. He has been leading several national and international projects in biometrics and intelligent video surveillance. The AuthenMetric face recognition system and intelligent video surveillance system have been deployed in several national projects, including Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, Shanghai 2010 World Expo, and immigration control at China borders. He is a co-chair of SAC/TC100/SC2 for biometrics standardization in China and delivered a plenary speech on Biometrics in China at ISO/IEC JTC1/SC37 on behalf of the China National Body.
