Qingyun Li Assistant Professor Office:  ESS 254 Phone:  631-632-8336 E-mail: qingyun.li@stonybrook.edu B.S in Environmental Sciences, 2011: Peking University Ph.D. in Energy, Environmental and Chemical Engineering, 2016     Washington University in St. Louis Postdoctoral research affiliate at Stanford University /      SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory Faculty member at Stony Brook since 2021 Research Lab Website

 

 

Professor Li uses experimental approaches, geochemical modeling, and synchrotron X-ray techniques to study water-rock interactions in energy and environmental applications. Example topics include:

• Biogeochemical reactions during underground gas/energy/waste storage
• Fate and transport of contaminants and nutrients in groundwater and soil
• Mineral dissolution, nucleation, and precipitation
• Coupling of chemical and mechanical alterations of rocks
• Reactive transport in porous media
