Dr. Zhu Changliang joined the Postdoctoral Program at the College of Chemistry and the Frontiers Science Center for New Organic Matter Creation, Nankai University, as a Postdoctoral Research Associate in April 2025. He earned Master of Science degree in Physical Chemistry in June 2019 under the supervision of Prof. Wang Gongyin at the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences and Chengdu Institute of Organic Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences. He graduated in June 2024 and earned Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry under the supervision of Prof. Xie Jianhua at State Key Laboratory and Institute of Elemento-Organic Chemistry, College of Chemistry, Nankai University, focusing on the development of efficient transition-metal-catalyzed asymmetric reactions. In March 2025, he joined the Li Maolinꞌs research group to conduct postdoctoral research, where he will dedicate his efforts to biocatalysis, particularly the development of novel photoenzyme-catalyzed reactions and their applications in synthetic chemistry. He as the first author or co-author, have been published in peer-reviewed journals including J. Am. Chem. Soc. Org. Lett. Chem. Res. Chin. Univ. etc.
