Katie Dongmei Li-Oakey is a Professor in the Department of Chemical and Biomedical Engineering at the University of Wyoming, where she serves as Undergraduate Coordinator. Her research focuses on catalytic membranes, functional thin films, and coatings for liquid filtration, gas processing, and biomedical sensors. She explores novel catalyst-surface interactions to address separation challenges like fouling and poisoning.
- Ph.D. in Chemical and Biological Engineering (University of Colorado at Boulder, 2003)
- Postdoctoral Fellow (University of Colorado at Boulder, 2003-2005)
- Adjunct Assistant Professor (University of Wyoming, 2010-2011)
- Industry experience: Intel Corporation, DRC Metrigraphics
Her work spans fuel cell materials, COF-based membranes, and self-cleaning surfaces, with patents on ultra-low Pt catalysts and durable nanoparticle platforms. Publications emphasize covalent organic frameworks, oxygen-inhibited photopolymerization, and electrochemical performance of carbon electrodes.
Current projects include microparticle fabrication, ionic liquid recycling, and environmental sensors. She collaborates on energy exploration filtration and biomedical devices, applying computational modeling to optimize membrane properties.
