Queens, NY Li (Lily) Huang joins JB&B Environmental as a senior consultant, bringing more than 30 years of government and private sector expertise in the fields of environmental, civil, public health, emergency response, engineering and sciences, and public health policy.

Additionally, she represented the city at the 2018 International Atomic Energy Agency’s (IAEA) conference in Vienna to accept an award from the Nuclear Threat Initiative (NTI) in recognition of her team’s leadership and innovation in replacing high-activity radioactive sources with alternative and emerging technology at hospitals, medical facilities and blood banks throughout New York City.
