Rebecca Aijing Li

Dr. Rebecca Aijing Li is a researcher at the University of New South Wales specializing in water quality engineering and treatment processes. She completed her PhD in 2021 focusing on disinfection by-products formation (DBPs) modelling in drinking water distribution systems after disinfection processes.

• Fields of Research: Water Quality Engineering, Water Treatment Processes, Wastewater Treatment Processes
• Location: Operations Division, Vallentine Annexe (H22), Level 1, Room 123

Dr. Li's research encompasses quantitative analytical method development using gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry and extraction techniques, with specific expertise in trace level analysis of volatile and semi-volatile disinfection byproducts. Her work includes probabilistic Bayesian Network modelling of DBPs production and lab-scale simulation of DBP formation under various conditions in water distribution systems. She also develops probabilistic models with Monte-Carlo simulation for disinfection profiles at water treatment plants.

With a chemical engineering background, Dr. Li maintains broader interests in water and wastewater treatment technologies, membrane processes, and chemical engineering applications in environmental systems. Her research contributes to understanding and improving drinking water quality through advanced analytical methods and predictive modeling approaches.

Dr. Li has published 3 journal articles and 1 thesis/dissertation, with her ORCID identifier available at https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3858-1096. Her work bridges analytical chemistry, environmental engineering, and computational modeling to address critical challenges in drinking water safety and quality management.
