Dr Gang (Kevin) Li is a senior lecturer at the University of Melbourne. He received both his Bachelor and Master degree in Chemical Engineering from Tianjin University (China), and later PhD (2010) at Monash University. After a year of teaching and research fellowship at Monash, Dr Li moved to The University of Melbourne as a CO2CRC Research Fellow for 10 months, resuming his research on the development of clean energy through interplay of materials engineering and chemical engineering. In 2012, Dr Li took up a Research Assistant Professor position at the University of Western Australia, where he started to lead a research team focusing on novel technologies for natural gas separation and recovery of low grade methane, and in the meanwhile serving as a lecturer teaching undergraduates core chemical engineering units.Dr Li was an awardee of the ARC DECRA fellowship ($376,970 for year 2014 – 2016), and he is also a co- founder and one of the three theme leaders of the $8.8 million ARC Industrial Transformation Training Centre (Australian Centre for LNG Futures). Recently, through lead partners in oil & gas, Dr Li was co-awarded $1M grant via the Global Innovation Linkage program by Australian government to commercialize his award winning methane capture technology. Dr Li discovered the “molecular trapdoor” effect and established the LJM (Li-Jensen-May) isotherm model. He has 12 invention patents and won the WA Innovator of the Year award twice. He published in in most of the top chemistry and chemical engineering journals (e.g. Nature Comm, JACS, AIChE J, Chem Eng Sci ) with a total citation over 1300 and an H-index of 19 (Google Scholar).
