Self-Introduction:
My name is Yue Pang, born in Jinan, not far away from Tianjin. It’s my great pleasure to be back to Prof. Zhu’s group and Nankai Uni, after eight years’ research in Europe. I wish I could contribute to our group’s research, on the interface of organic synthesis and organometallic chemistry, aiming at understanding the roles of spin effect in catalysis.
