Haloalkyne Chemistry

Prof. Huanfeng Jiang received his B.Sc. in chemistry from Hubei University in 1983, M.S. with Professor Lun Zhang at Wuhan University in 1990 and Ph.D. with Professor Xiyan Lu at the Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry, CAS in 1993. Then he joined Guangzhou Institute of Chemistry, CAS, as a research fellow. He became an Associate Professor in 1995 and a full Professor in 1998. In 2003, he moved to the South China University of Technology (SCUT), where he is currently the leading Professor of Chemistry. He received many awards, including Chinese Chemical Society-BASF Young Investigator's Award (2002), National Natural Science Funds for Distinguished Young Scholar (2006) and Asian Core Program Lectureship Award (2014). His research interests include synthetic methodology, green and sustainable chemistry. He was elected as a council member of Chinese Chemical Society in 2011. Dr. Chuanle Zhu received his B.S. from Tianjin University in 2009 before obtaining his Ph.D. at the same university with Professor Junan Ma in 2014. He received the EIFFEL scholarship in 2011 and spent ten months (September 2011 to July 2012) as a visiting Ph.D. student in Professor Dominique Cahard' group at INSA de Rouen, France. In 2015, he joined SCUT and is currently a postdoctoral fellow with Professor Huanfeng Jiang. His research work is focused on the development and applications of new synthetic methods.
