Organic Stereochemistry

Hua-Jie Zhu is the vice director of the Key Laboratory of Medicinal Chemistry and Molecular Diagnostics at Hebei University, China. After having obtained his academic degrees from Chinese Academic of Sciences (CAS), he became an assistant research professor in the group of Prof. C. U. Pittman Jr. at Mississippi State University, USA. He spent most of his career working for Kunming Institute of Botany of CAS, Yunnan, China, before taking up his present appointment at Hebei University. The focus of his study is the combinational use of different theoretical methods in organic reactions to determine relative and absolute configuration of molecules. He has authored nearly 100 scientific publications and has received numerous scientific awards, including Hundreds Talent Program of CAS, Wangkuangcheng Outstanding Contribution Scholar in West China of CAS, and the Outstanding Expert in Yunnan Province.
