Autorenporträt
Dr. Yuan Li studied Geoenvironmental Engineering at the Institute of Rock and Soil Mechanics, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and Cardiff University, where he spent five years (2018-2023) conducting cross-disciplinary research on bio-electro-chemico-thermo-hydro-mechanical behaviours of contaminated soils and geo-wastes. He is currently a distinguished postdoctoral fellow at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong, developing functional nanomaterials derived from geo-wastes with eco-benefits and applying them to geopolymer-stabilised infrastructures. He will serve as a research associate at the University of Cambridge from April 2025 to September 2025, and as a Marie Curie Fellow at Imperial College London from October 2025, where he will continue these studies. His research interests focus on (1) analysis of soil-pollutant interactions and interactions between soil particles and functional nanomaterials; (2) novel thermal and thermochemical methods to address soil contamination; (3) microstructure analysis and assessment of geopolymers, thermally treated wastes, and waste-based nanomaterials with environmental benefits for sustainable infrastructures; and (4) sustainability assessment based on life cycle analysis and carbon budget for waste-based cementitious materials. He has received various research funds and awards, including the Horizon Europe Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions Fellowship, the Distinguished Postdoctoral Fellowship, and the Special Prize of Presidential Scholarship from CAS.
