Academic Areas: Organic Chemistry

Prof. Dr. Zheng Yan-Song received his Ph D in 1996 at Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences and jointed the faculty at Huazhong University of Science and Technology in 1998. He did his postdoctoral research work at University of Hong Kong in 2000-2001 and was a visiting scholar at University of Mississippi in 2002-2004. Now he is a Professor of School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering at Huazhong University of Science and Technology. His current research interests are as the following. 1. Chiral recognition and enantiomeric excess determination based on aggregation-induced emission (AIE). 2. Synthesis and properties of tetraphenylethylene macrocyclic compounds with AIE effects and their properties in molecule recognition and self-assembly. 3. Improvement of synthetic process of some important drug molecules.
