معرفی
Dr. Lily Li is an ARC Future Fellow in the School of Engineering at Swinburne University of Technology, affiliated with the Centre of Smart Infrastructure and Digital Construction (CSIDC). Her research focuses on sustainable infrastructure materials, water treatment technologies, and composite materials, with a particular emphasis on eco-friendly binders, cement durability, and biomimetic processes. She holds a PhD from the National University of Singapore and has conducted postdoctoral research at Monash University and Hyflux. Dr. Li leads multiple ARC-funded projects, including the ARC Research Hub for Future Digital Manufacturing and a grant on controlled calcium release in biowaste polymer binders. Her work addresses challenges in carbon sequestration, wastewater treatment, and low-carbon construction materials. Awards include the ARC Future Fellowship (2021–2025) and Vice Chancellor’s Research Fellowship (Women in STEM). She supervises doctoral and master’s students in areas like urban stormwater systems, anaerobic co-digestion of waste, and microbial community studies. Key collaborations involve the Department of Defence (Australia) and international partners.
