Jing Li (chemist)

Li completed her undergraduate studies in China, and received her master's degree from the State University of New York at Albany.

She obtained her PhD degree in January 1990 at Cornell University under the supervision of Professor Roald Hoffmann, the 1981 Nobel Prize laureate in Chemistry.{{cite web|url=http://www.roaldhoffmann.com/|title=Roald Hoffman|website=www.roaldhoffmann.com}} She continued to work at Cornell as a postdoc for two years (1989–1991) with Professor Francis "Frank" J. DiSalvo before taking an academic position at Rutgers University.{{cite web|url=https://chemistry.cornell.edu/francis-disalvo|title=Francis DiSalvo|website=www.chemistry.cornell.edu/francis-disalvo}}

Li joined the Rutgers Faculty as an assistant professor in 1991, where she was promoted to associate professor in 1996, full professor in 1999, and distinguished professor in 2006.{{cite web|url=https://chem.rutgers.edu/people/faculty-bio/177-li-jing/|title=Jing Li|website=Rutgers}} Her current research group consists of postdoc associates, graduate students, visiting scientists, exchange graduate students and undergraduate students.{{cite web |title=Research Group |url=https://chem.rutgers.edu/jing-li-people/jing-li-current-group-members |website=Team Members}}

Li has developed and taught 17 different undergraduate and graduate courses since her first appointment with the university.

Li’s focus of research includes areas of solid-state inorganic and materials chemistry. Her current research focuses on the development of new and functional materials that are fundamentally important and relevant for clean and renewable energy applications. These include (a) metal organic frameworks (MOFs) for gas storage and separation, carbon dioxide capture, waste remediation and chemical sensing,{{cite journal |title=Commensurate Adsorption of Hydrocarbons and Alcohols in Microporous Metal Organic Frameworks |journal=Chem.
