Dr. Li Hong (Colin) received his Bachelor and Ph.D. degrees from Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. He was awarded the Singapore Millennium Foundation (SMF) postdoctoral fellowship after graduation. In 2013, he joined the Mechanical Engineering Department at Stanford University as a postdoc where he focused on electrocatalysis for green hydrogen generation (affiliated with Center of Sustainable Energy through Catalysis). He also worked with Samsung to develop health monitoring biosensors for wearable devices. Dr. Li Hong joined the School of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering/School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering in June 2016 as a Nanyang Assistant Professor. He was promoted to Associate Professor with Tenue in March 2022.
Dr. Li’s expertise is technology development for decarbonization. His current research works focus on green hydrogen generation, biomass waste-to-fuels/green chemicals, passive cooling, and nanofabrication.
