Research Description
Dr. Li is a freshwater ecologist with particular interest in biogeochemical processes in lakes, rivers and reservoirs. He is currently the Head of Department of Ecological Science and Engineering, Deputy Director of The Institute of Urban Environmental Evolution and Ecological Restoration in Chongqing University, China. His research interests are in controlling of toxic algal blooms and water pollution using cost-effective and ecological approaches; the fate, behavior, effects and risk assessment of emerging pollutants in Environments. Currently, as a key member, Dr. Li participated the National Key R&D Program of China (2017YFC0404700, leaded by Prof. Hongxiang Chai) and National Natural Science Foundation of China (51779020, leaded by Prof. Qiang He in Chongqing University). In addition, Dr. Li leaded two National Natural Science Foundation. Dr. Li is also the author of over 50 peer-reviewed publications.
