Member Spotlight: Yu Li
Posted on Tuesday 29 October, 2024
This year our Resene Next Gen Supreme Award was taken out by Yu Li, a Civil Engineering PhD candidate studying at the University of Canterbury.
To enter the Next Gen Awards nominees had to submit their 'big idea' to shake up the industry. Yu Li's idea submitted for this award is taken from the work she is completing towards her PhD thesis. Her study focuses on collecting data on how and where roads are used by using a newly developed and cost-effective Internet of Things (IoT) proptotype. The data collected can be used to automatically predict traffic positioning in difference scenarios.
Since being presented with the Award at the NZ Building People Awards on 30 August Yu Li has gotten more involved with the Institute and is now an enthusiastic member of the Young Professional Advisors group.
She's also currently on the lookout for work which makes the most of her considerable expertise so get in touch with her to snap her up!
We asked her a few questions to get to know Yu Li a little better.
