Professional Bio

Lili He is a Professor of Food Science at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. She earned her Bachelor's and Master's degrees from Zhejiang University in China and obtained her PhD from the University of Missouri-Columbia in the United States in 2009. After completing her postdoctoral training at the University of Minnesota, she joined the Food Science Department at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst as an Assistant Professor in 2012. In 2018, Dr. He was promoted to Associate Professor, and in 2022, she was promoted to Full Professor. In 2020, Dr. He established the Raman, IR, and XRF Core Facility at the University of Massachusetts, providing analytical services to both the university and external clients.

Research

Dr. Lili He's research focuses on the development and application of cutting-edge analytical techniques in the field of environmental, agricultural, and food sciences. A particular emphasis of her research is surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), an innovative and versatile molecular spectroscopy with ultra-sensitivity. In addition, she has also been working with surface-enhanced infrared absorption spectroscopy (SEIRAS) and X-ray fluorescent spectroscopy (XRF) to further advance her research. Dr. He has developed advanced methods for analyzing chemical, biological, and physical agents in complex systems, filling important gaps in our understanding of the prevalence, behavior, and biological fate of these analytes in environmental, agricultural, and food systems.
