Introduction

Zhanhui Yang received his B.Sc. and PhD degrees in chemistry from Beijing University of Chemical Technology (BUCT) in 2010 and 2015, respectively, under the supervision of Prof. Jiaxi Xu. In 2015, he started his postdoc toral experience on chemical engineering and technology with Prof. Hongguang Du at BUCT. From 2016 to 2017, he studied as a visiting  scholar at the University of Wisconsin– Madison, with Prof. Weiping Tang. From 2018 to 2024, he served as an Associate Professor in organic chemistry at BUCT. In 2024, he was promoted to a Professor.
