Linge Li

Linge will be a member of the University Council starting September 2021

Linge Li is a PhD candidate from the Institute of Environmental Biology, Science faculty. She is a tomato researcher who studies how tomatoes cultivars respond to far-red light at the cellular level. Within the project, she applies microscopy analysis, RNA sequencing and evolution analysis, trying to reveal the mechanism of this response. She has been to the Netherlands for five years and obtained her MSc degree in plant sciences from Leiden University. As an international student, Linge experienced some difficulties not only in research but also in social life. She would like to bring more diversity to Utrecht Universiteit Council and help the international students and employees be more involved in the university activities.
