Qinyi Li, PhD, Professor. Dr Li obtained his Bachelor degree in Sun Yat-sen University, Master degee in Peking University, and PhD degree in The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU). He was a Postdoc Researcher in Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) from 2018 to 2022 in collaboration with Prof. Alfonso Saiz-Lopez, and a Research Fellow in PolyU working with Prof. Tao Wang.
His research focuses on atmospheric chemistry, reactive halogen chemistry, air quality modeling, climate and Earth system numerical modeling. He has been developing multiscale models, including regional chemical transport model (WRF-Chem), global chemistry-climate model (CAM-Chem), and Earth System model (CESM), to reveal the underlying causes of air pollution and climate change.
He has published 13 papers as a key author (first/corresponding author, including equal-contribution) on National Science Review, Nature Communications, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Geophysical Research Letters, Environmental Science and Technology, Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, and Journal of Geophysical Research-Atmospheres.
He has also applied his expertise (e.g., developing multiscale atmospheric models) and cooperated with international research teams to analyse and comprehend field observation and numerical modelling results, leading to the publication of >30 SCI papers, including 15 on high-impact multi-discipline journals, including Nature, NSR, NC, NCC, NG, PNAS, and SA. His publications have >1300 SCI citations with an H-index of 21 (Web of Science).
