Yuan Zhang

Ph.D., Associate Professor

Introduction

Yuan Zhang received his B. Sc. (2003) and Ph. D. (2008) in organic chemistry at Lanzhou University. In 2008, he joined the State Key Laboratory of Applied Organic Chemistry (SKLAOC), Lanzhou University as a lecturer. In 2012, he became associate professor. His current research interests include synthesis and heterogeneous catalytic application of Porous Organic Polymers (POPs), photocatalysis and asymmetric catalysis.
