Dr. Jing Li primarily focuses on research related to the causes, sources, and control of air pollution, as well as its impact on the health of vulnerable populations, such as children. With the goal of improving air quality and public health, Dr. Li utilizes big data techniques including ground monitoring, satellite remote sensing, and machine learning to investigate a range of issues related to air pollution sources-exposure-health of children. She has been selected as one of the young talents of the 9th "Young Talent Support Project" of the China Association for Science and Technology, a national young talent programme. In recent years, Dr. Li has published over 60 SCI papers, with an H-index of 24 and more than 2,000 total citations. Over 30 of these papers were published as the first or corresponding author in journals such as The Innovation, Environmental Science & Technology, Journal of Hazardous Materials, JAMA Network Open, and Environment International. Dr. Li also serves as Secretary-General of the School Health Branch of the Chinese Association of Health Promotion and Education, Deputy Secretary-General of the School Health Professional Committee of the Chinese Health Inspection Association, and a member of the Ozone Special Committee of the Chinese Society for Environmental Sciences. Additionally, Dr. Li is a young editorial board member of the journal The Innovation, guest editor of the special issue of Toxics and Atmosphere, corresponding editorial board member of Chinese Journal of School Health, and young editorial board member of the Chinese Journal of Child Health Care.
