Kejiang Li is a full professor at the School of Metallurgical and Ecological Engineering, The University of Science and Technology, Beijing. He earned his PhD in July 2017 and his undergraduate degree in July 2012, both in metallurgical engineering at the University of Science and Technology, Beijing. In his research, he uses both experimental and computational tools to investigate the evolution of the structures and properties of various kinds of materials in atomic and electronic scale, in the metallurgical process or the materials processing process. The reaction mechanism in atomic scale is always a key interest. His research expertise includes molecular dynamics (MD) simulations; carbonaceous materials; density functional theory (DFT); iron and its alloys; blast furnace ironmaking; and alternative ironmaking processes.
