Funding: Dean's Award – The University of Manchester
Prizes: Dean's Award (2021); First prize at the 10th Chemical Engineering undergraduate academic innovation achievement report, of Hubei province (2017); Second prize at the 6th undergraduate chemical experimental operation competition, of Hubei province (2017).
Biography: I was born in Hunan, China. I obtained my undergraduate degree at the Wuhan Institute of Technology, working under the supervision of Prof. Zhibing Dong. Here, my research focused on the development of green synthetic methods and C-S bond forming cross couplings. In 2020, I joined the Procter group at the University of Manchester as a MPhil student, working on multicomponent Cu-catalyzed processes. In 2021, I was awarded the prestigious Dean's Award to continue my experience at Manchester with a PhD. In my free time, I enjoy cooking, Beijing Opera, fitness and reading.
