Innovative solutions towards grand challenges require a multidisciplinary approach. By Redesigning Natural materials for Energy, Water, Environment and Devices (ReNEWED), the Li group aims to apply the fundamental science to establish a natural “toolbox” for sustainable solutions towards the carbon drawdown.
We have openings for highly motivated graduate students, postdocs and undergraduate students. Please directly send your CV to Dr. Li if you share our passion towards energy and sustainability!
