Li Li, Ph.D.
Assist. Prof. Li is an environmental modeler in the inter-discipline of environmental chemistry, industrial ecology, and exposure and health sciences.
Li obtained his Bachelor's degree (with highest distinction) in Environmental Sciences from Nankai University (NKU), P.R. China, in 2012, and his doctoral degree in Environmental Sciences from Peking University (PKU), P.R. China, in 2017. Li was a visiting student at the University of California, Los Angles (UCLA), USA, in 2011, and at the University of Toronto at Scarborough (UTSC), Canada, during 2015 – 2016. In September 2017, Li returned to the UTSC, where he worked as a Mitacs postdoctoral fellow. Li is now working as a tenure-track assistant professor in systems analysis & modeling at the School of Public Health of the University of Nevada, Reno, USA, since summer 2019.
