Hi there, this is Patrick! I was born in a little town in southern China, which is a place famous for spicy food and bamboo
I went to Central South University (Changsha, Hunan) in 2009, majoring in Applied Chemistry. Received a B.S. degree in Applied Chemistry in 2013.
I continued my master program @CSU, supervised by Prof. Hua Yang. My work was focusing on asymmetric synthesis of benzoheterocyclic compound. Published some papers involving this topic. Received a M.S. degree in Chemistry in the early summer of 2016.
Right now, I am working in Prof. John Porco's lab in Boston University, Boston, MA, mainly focusing on photochemical related natural product synthesis and methodology development.
