Biography

I received my bachelor’s degree in chemistry from Shandong University in 1999. I obtained my Ph.D. degree (2004) with Prof. Shengming Ma at Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry (SIOC). I then spent 2004-2006 as an Alexander von Humboldt Postdoctoral Fellow with Prof. Manfred T. Reetz at Max Planck Institute für Kohlenforschung. In 2007, I joined the faculty at Peking University as an Associate Professor, I was promoted to Full Professor in 2010, and I am currently the Yangtze-river scholars distinguished Professor at Peking University.

My current research efforts are focused on: 1) New methodologies development in Atom-Incorporation Reactions mainly on oxygenation, nitrogenation, and halogenation reactions; 2) The first-row transition metal catalysis and the inert chemical bonds functionalization; 3) Bioactive compounds synthesis and drug discovery. I am a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry and started my position as an Associate Editor for Chemical Science in January 2021.
