Summary
Li Li is an environment modeler. His research focuses on the inter-discipline environmental chemistry and industrial ecology. His research focuses upon understanding the transport, accumulation, transformation and health effects of synthetic chemicals (e.g. pesticides, flame retardants and plasticizers), as well as their impact on the environment and human socioeconomic systems. He works to create, foster and maintain a variety of computationally sound models that are mechanistically sound to help us understand the behavior and processes behind synthetic chemicals and other materials. This will also help to inform decision making.
Li obtained his Ph.D. in 2017 from Peking University (China), and his doctoral research was honored with the “Springer Theses Outstanding Ph.D.Research Award.” He was a Mitacs Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Toronto Scarborough (Canada), from 2017 to 2019, before becoming an assistant professor at the University of Nevada Reno.
