Position Opening

We are recruiting undergraduates and graduates (PhD or MSc level), postdoctoral associates, research associates, and technicians who are enthusiastic in organic synthesis research. Please contact Dr. He directly if you are interested in joining our research group.

Research Interests

Organic synthesis methodology development: (1) Elemental organic chemistry, particularly including applications of organoboron chemistry in synthesis; (2) Radical chemistry, including applications of heteroatom (B, Si, O, N, F, etc.) radical intermediates in organic synthesis; (3) Transition-metal catalysis, particularly development of reactions involving non-precious metal (e.g. Fe, Co, Ni, Cu) catalysts; (4) Technical chemistry, including applications of non-conventional techniques in organic synthesis, such as continuous-flow chemistry, photochemistry, electrochemistry, sonochemistry, etc.
