Research summary
AI-generated

Yebo Li's research focuses on converting waste materials—such as municipal solid waste, food waste, and crude glycerol—into useful fuels, chemicals, and bioplastics through processes like anaerobic digestion, pyrolysis, and microbial fermentation. Much of the work centers on recovering energy and value-added products (biogas, methanol, volatile fatty acids, polyhydroxyalkanoates) from organic and industrial byproducts, and on managing waste streams more efficiently. The research combines engineering process design with microbiology and resource-recovery strategies.

Publication output was higher around 2017-2018 and has since declined to a lower but relatively steady pace of a few papers per year over the past five years.
