Brief Bio

Feihu Li earned a B.Eng. from Anhui University of Technology (AHUT) with the first-class honors in 2003 and a Ph.D. from Nanjing University (NJU) in 2008. As a CSC Postdoc Research Fellow, he worked with Glenn Waychunas and Ben Gilbert between 2013 and 2014 in the Berkeley Nanogeoscience Center at the Earth Sciences Division of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL, Berkeley Lab), Berkeley, USA. Currently, he is Associate Professor at the School of Environmental Science & Engineering, Nanjing University of Information Science & Technology (NUIST), where he leads a team dubbed ACE Lab (acronym of Aquatic Chemistry and Ecomaterials Laboratory).  His current research interests focus on aquatic chemistry at the solid/water interface, hybrid nanomaterials for environmental applications, such as water desalination, resource recovery from waste streams, environmental remediation, and novel clean-up techniques.

Dr. Li was awarded the first-class prize for teaching achievements (2011), the second-class prize of Jiangsu excellent engineering consulting achievements (2012), the excellent mentorship award for outstanding undergraduate thesis (2016), the Outstanding Contribution in Reviewing award for the Journal of Hazardous Materials (2018), and the NUIST top-ten mentorship award for postgraduates (2023). In addition, he was the recipient of the ACS ES&T Engineering 2023 Best Paper Award for research achievements in phosphorus recovery from wastewater (2024).
