Postdoctoral Researchers
CHAI Zhengqi, Ph.D
CHAI Zhengqi received his Bachelor's degree in Chemistry in 2019 and PhD degree in Organic Chemistry in 2024 from Peking University under the supervision of Prof. Wen-Xiong Zhang and Prof. Zhenfeng Xi. During his PhD, he worked on experimental and computational studies on rare-earth organometallic chemistry. In 2024, he joined the Ge research group as a postdoctoral fellow to study transition metal catalysis. In his spare time, he enjoys playing table tennis and badminton.
YANG Bin, Ph.D
YANG Bin received his Bachelor's degree in Applied Chemistry from Hunan Normal University in 2014 and Master's degree in organic chemistry from Nanjing University in 2017. After graduation, he worked in a pharmaceutical company for about one year and then obtained a position of research assistant at East China Normal University. In 2019, he started to pursue his Ph.D in Fudan University under the supervision of Prof. Junliang Zhang. During this time, he work on the palladium-catalyzed asymmetric reactions based on the chiral phosphine ligand "Sadphos". In 2023, he joined the Ge research group as a postdoctoral fellow to continue study on transition metal catalysis. In his spare time, he enjoys playing table tennis and watching movies.
