About Dr. Li
Wanlu Li, Ph.D., is an assistant professor of Chemistry. Before joining Saint Peter’s University, she worked as a postdoc at Columbia University. She earned her doctoral degree in Chemistry at Graduate Center, The City University of New York (2018). Her research interests are in the area of environmental chemistry and chemistry of materials. The focus is on the synthesis of materials that will benefit sustainable development.
For the specific research topic, please see her group lab website.
“I believe that the core of any successful teaching is the ability to inspire students with the excitement and commitment of the subject in the classroom and in the field instilling in students a desire to learn. Effective teaching is more than simply to transmit knowledge but is also to cultivate learners who can tackle real-life problems with logic.”
