Study on the Interface Interaction Between Volatile Organic Pollutants and Soils and Thermal Remediation Evaluation
暫譯: 揮發性有機污染物與土壤之間介面互動研究及熱修復評估

Dr. Yuan Li studied Geoenvironmental Engineering at the Institute of Rock and Soil Mechanics, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and Cardiff University, where he spent five years (2018-2023) conducting cross-disciplinary research on bio-electro-chemico-thermo-hydro-mechanical behaviours of contaminated soils and geo-wastes. He is currently a distinguished postdoctoral fellow at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong, developing functional nanomaterials derived from geo-wastes with eco-benefits and applying them to geopolymer-stabilised infrastructures. He will serve as a research associate at the University of Cambridge from April 2025 to September 2025, and as a Marie Curie Fellow at Imperial College London from October 2025, where he will continue these studies. His research interests focus on (1) analysis of soil-pollutant interactions and interactions between soil particles and functional nanomaterials; (2) novel thermal and thermochemical methods to address soil contamination; (3) microstructure analysis and assessment of geopolymers, thermally treated wastes, and waste-based nanomaterials with environmental benefits for sustainable infrastructures; and (4) sustainability assessment based on life cycle analysis and carbon budget for waste-based cementitious materials. He has received various research funds and awards, including the Horizon Europe Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions Fellowship, the Distinguished Postdoctoral Fellowship, and the Special Prize of Presidential Scholarship from CAS.

袁立博士於中國科學院岩土力學研究所及卡迪夫大學研究地球環境工程，並在此進行了五年的跨學科研究（2018-2023），專注於受污染土壤和地質廢棄物的生物-電-化學-熱-水-機械行為。目前，他是香港理工大學的傑出博士後研究員，致力於開發具有生態效益的地質廢棄物衍生功能性納米材料，並將其應用於地聚合物穩定的基礎設施。他將於2025年4月至2025年9月擔任劍橋大學的研究助理，並於2025年10月成為倫敦帝國學院的瑪麗·居里研究員，繼續這些研究。他的研究興趣包括：(1) 土壤-污染物相互作用及土壤顆粒與功能性納米材料之間的相互作用；(2) 新穎的熱和熱化學方法以解決土壤污染問題；(3) 地聚合物、熱處理廢物及具有環境效益的廢物基納米材料的微觀結構分析與評估，以支持可持續基礎設施；以及 (4) 基於生命週期分析和碳預算的廢物基水泥材料的可持續性評估。他獲得了多項研究資金和獎項，包括歐洲地平線瑪麗·斯克沃多夫斯卡-居里行動獎學金、傑出博士後獎學金，以及中國科學院總統獎學金的特別獎。
