About Jiaqi (Jacky) Li
A research scientist at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.
A climate/material scientist with multidisciplinary background in geochemistry, electrochemistry, & biochemistry and extensive experience of advanced synchrotron multiscale material characterization and life cycle assessment for the sustainable design of resilient infrastructure materials in adaption to climate change. He earned his Ph.D. and M.S. in Civil and Environmental Engineering from the University of California, Berkeley. He received his B.E. from Beijing University of Technology. He was a postdoc at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, then the Ernest O. Lawrence Fellow at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.
He expanded his research interests from civil infrastructure materials to the strategies of mitigation and adaptation of climate change (e.g., sustainable & resilient infrastructure for natural/built environment, carbon capture, utilization & storage, renewable energy, waste upcycling, energy-relevant critical resources recovery, industry decarbonization, and engineered biomaterials).
