About me

Dr. Xuerun LI received his PhD degree in Material Science from Nanjing Tech University in 2014 working on cement clinker and ye'elimite cement. He is now doing postdoc research at LMC of EPFL. His current research interests are XRD quantitative analysis (Rietveld method) applied in cementitious materials, alite synthesis and hydration study, and reactivity test for SCMs.
