Dr. Yanbin Li

Dr. Yanbin Li received his B.S. from Shenyang Agricultural University, his M.S. from University of Nebraska-Lincoln and his Ph.D. from Pennsylvania State University, all in agricultural engineering. Dr. Li came to the University of Arkansas in 1989 as a postdoctoral research associate and later became a research assistant professor. He joined the faculty in 1994. His research interests are food safety, biological material properties, simulation and modeling in food processing. Dr. Li has conducted research on electrical stimulation for tenderization of poultry meat, electrochemical pasteurization methods for poultry processing, antimicrobial spray methods in poultry processing, biosensors and image analysis for rapid detection pathogens in food products, predicitive microbial models and microbial risk assessment models of bacteria in poultry products.
