Meng Li is currently a research scientist working at Idaho National Laboratory, USA. She received her B.E in Materials Science and Engineering from Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST), China in Jun 2012, and earned her Ph.D. degree in Materials Science from HUST in Dec 2016. During her graduate studies, she spent one and a half years at Curtin University, Australia, as a joint graduated student. Meng joined the University of Alberta, Canada, as a postdoctoral fellow of Materials Engineering after she obtained her Ph.D. and worked there until Feb 2019. Meng has been working on Energy Storage & Conversions and Catalysis since 2012.  She has experience with theoretical computations (DFT/AIMD), machine learning, aqueous electrolyzers, solid oxide electrochemical cells, metal-air batteries, lithium-ion batteries. She combines experimental design and examination with theoretical calculation to understand the mechanisms of related reactions and intrinsic properties of developed materials. She has been the author on 39 peer reviewed papers, including those on Nature Catalysis, Chem, ACS Energy Letter and Nano Energy.
