Authors

Junliang Zhang Professor of Chemistry, Fudan University, Shanghai, China. Prof. Junliang Zhang obtained his B.S. degree in Chemistry in 1997 from Tianjin University and PhD degree from the Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2002 under the supervision of Prof. Shengming Ma. Then he worked as a postdoctoral fellow successively in University of Cologne (Humboldt Fellowship) and then University of Chicago. In 2006, he joined East China Normal University as a full professor. Then he moved to Fudan University in 2017 as professor of chemistry. His recent research interests include enyne chemistry, small ring chemistry and recently focus on developing novel chiral sulfinamide-based phosphine ligands in asymmetric catalysis. He has got several international awards, and published over 150 scientific articles and 5 book chapters. Wenbo Li Associate Professor, East China Normal University, Shanghai, China. Dr. Wenbo Li obtained her B.S. degree in Chemistry in 2008 and PhD degree in 2013 from East China Normal University under the supervision of Professor Junliang Zhang. Then she began her academic career at East China Normal University in Junliang Zhang's research group and promoted to associate professor in 2016. Her research focuses on the development of novel reactions and asymmetric transformations. She has authored/co-authored 24 papers and 2 book chapters.
