Jiuling Li

I am a Research Fellow at Australian Centre of Water and Environmental Biotechnology (ACWEB). I received my bachelor degree in Automation from Harbin Institute of Technology, China, and my PhD from the University of Queensland in 2021. My research is multidisciplinary study of urban water management and automation control, including model predictive control, real-time optimisation, IoT sensor network, and high-performance computing for sewer networks, water distribution systems, and wastewater treatment plants.

My research grounds in the exploration of natural sciences and I am dedicated to translating knowledge into practical engineering applications. My vision for digital water management not only integrates cutting-edge data technology into the water industry but also advances computing science through its "wisdom in water" approach. I have published refereed journal papers on vastly different fields of Environmental Engineering and Computer Engineering. I am currently the Associate Editor of Water Research X. I am the lecturer of [WATR7104] - Sewer Networks - Design, Operation and Maintenance and [WATR7107] - Wastewater Modelling and Control.

My multidisciplinary research projects are established in close collaboration with industry partnerships. I am a recipient of Advanced Queensland Industry Research Fellowship. My study about the real-time control of chemical dosing in sewer networks won the prestigious IWA Global Project Innovation Award in 2024. I am a member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the International Water Association (IWA).

I am open to supervising Master and PhD projects. Welcome to reach out if you are interested in exploring the world and developing practical technologies.
