Born and raised in China, Li obtained his B.S. and M.S from Wuhan Uvniersity and Texas A&M University, respectively. At Aggieland, he worked with Dr. Bill Batchelor on water reuse with advanced oxidation/reduction processes, particularly on removing bromate and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA). Before going to Texas, Li studied as an Erasmus Mundus student at Ghent University, Belgium, under the support of Eramus Mundus program of the European Union.
Li came to Vanderbilt for his Ph.D career. He is working with Dr. Shihong Lin on brackish water desalination with capacitive deionization (CDI). |
