BIOGRAPHY

Dr. Wei Li is currently an Assistant Professor at Shanghai Jiao Tong University in China. She obtained her PhD from Shanghai Jiao Tong University in 2021 and her master’s degree from the University of Science and Technology of China in 2017. Her research interests include the combustion chemistry of low-carbon fuels, such as ammonia, dimethyl ether, biofuels, and e-fuels.

She has led projects funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (Youth Project) and the China Postdoctoral Science Foundation (General Project). Dr. Li has received honors including the Bernard Lewis Fellowship from the Combustion Institute, the Distinguished Postdoctoral Award from Shanghai Municipality, and the Nomination Award for Distinguished PhD Dissertations from Shanghai Jiao Tong University. She serves as the General Secretary of the Local Organizing Committee for the 3rd Symposium on Ammonia Energy, a member of the Combustion Section Committee of the Chinese Society of Engineering Thermophysics, a co-chair of the Topical Workshop at the 9th National Young Scholar Meeting on Combustion Research, and a reviewer for journals such as Proceedings of the Combustion Institute, Energy, and Combustion and Flame.
