Prof. Yalin Li
Assistant Professor, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering
Rutgers University
Dr. Yalin Li is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Rutgers University. The Li Group focuses on advancing the sustainability of water and energy infrastructure through integrated experimentation and modeling. Specifically, the group is interested in (i) experimental development of thermochemical and catalytic technologies for bioprocess engineering and resource recovery; and (ii) sustainable design and decision-making to prioritize the research, development, and deployment (RD&D) of technologies.
Dr. Li received her doctoral degree from Colorado School of Mines, M.S. from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, and B. Eng. from Tongji University. Prior to joining Rutgers, Yalin was a research scientist at the Institute for Sustainability, Energy, and Environment and the Center for Advanced Bioenergy and Bioproducts Innovation at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.
