PhD Chemist | Postdoctoral Researcher
Hi there! I'm a chemist who loves building molecules and exploring how chemistry can solve real-world problems. Currently based in the Netherlands, I'm diving into the fascinating world of peptides and dynamic materials.
I'm currently a postdoc at Radboud University's Robot Lab in the Netherlands, where I'm exploring the exciting intersection of peptide catalysis and dynamic materials. Before this, I earned my PhD from Tsinghua University under the guidance of Prof. Xi Zhang, working on radical-mediated click-clip reactions.
What drives me? I'm fascinated by how we can design smart molecules that respond to their environment—whether that's developing new catalytic systems or creating materials that can adapt and change. I enjoy the challenge of bridging computational tools with hands-on experimental work.
When I'm not in the lab, you'll probably find me exploring new cities, trying out local foods, or geeking out over the latest developments in AI and chemistry. I believe science should be both rigorous and fun!
