Rate My Professor Han Li

Han Li specializes in mortality modeling, forecasting, and analysis, with applications of extreme value theory, climate change impacts on mortality and insurance, cause-of-death modeling, healthy life expectancy, and forecast reconciliation. Her research addresses mortality and longevity risk management, ageing and retirement, and the effects of climate change on the insurance industry. Notable publications include Pricing Extreme Mortality Risk in the Wake of the COVID-19 Pandemic (Insurance: Mathematics and Economics, 2023, with Liu, H., Tang, Q., Yuan, Z.), Hierarchical Mortality Forecasting with EVT Tails: An Application to Solvency Capital Requirement (International Journal of Forecasting, 2022, with Chen, H.), Joint extremes in temperature and mortality: A bivariate POT approach (North American Actuarial Journal, 2022, with Tang, Q.), Assessing mortality inequality in the U.S.: What can be said about the future? (Insurance: Mathematics and Economics, 2021, with Hyndman, R. J.), and Healthy life expectancy in China: Modeling and implications for public and private insurance (Annals of Actuarial Science, 2021, with Hanewald, K., Wu, S.). Li has received the 2017 Mollie Holman Doctoral Medal for Thesis Excellence from Monash University and the 2023 Deans' Research Engagement and Partnership Award from the University of Melbourne. She serves as an Associate Investigator at the ARC Centre of Excellence in Population Ageing Research since 2018 and is a member of the COVID-19 Mortality Working Group of the Actuaries Institute since 2021. Her work has accumulated over 420 citations on Google Scholar.
