Biography

Kun Li is a professor at Environment Research Institute, Shandong University. Prof. Li's research interests are atmospheric physical and chemical processes influenced by human activities. The main research topics are: 1) secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation from anthropogenic emissions, including single and complex precursors; 2) characterizing SOA chemical composition and optical properties; 3) field measurements of volatile organic compounds regarding their emission, transformation, and the impacts of human activities.

He has published more than 40 papers in peer-reviewed journals including Nature, Environ. Sci. Technol., Atmos. Chem. Phys., Environ. Sci. Technol. Lett., etc.


Prof. Li is hiring Master's students, PhD students, and PostDocs. If you are interested, please feel free to reach him via: kun.li@sdu.edu.cn
