Hi, I am Feng Yang. I was born and grow up in a small village of Gansu province which is at far west of China. My hometown is famous for its production of high quality olive oil and pepper.

I attended Fudan University in Shanghai and majored in Pharmaceutical science where my outlook was highly expanded. During my college, I joined in Prof. Weili Zhao’s lab and worked on one-pot unsymmetrical disulfide synthesis as part of the lab’s interest in Antibody-Drug conjugates. in my senior year, I joined in Prof. Sun Xun’s lab to finish my bachelor thesis. In Sun’s lab, I collaborated with Dr. Tang working on resveratrol dimer and trimer synthesis. Dr. Tang taught me many practical skills and important concepts in synthesis.

later after one year stay in New York university, I transferred to Boston University and joined in Prof. John Porco’s lab to pursue total synthesis. I am focusing on meroterpenoid natural product.

In my free time, I like to go to gym, cook, read and sleep…
