Research Interests
My research began from my undergraduate period at Tianjin University, where I was involved in the synthesis of anti-cancer drug Vismodegib. During my doctoral training at Tianjin University, under the supervision of Prof. Jianhui Huang, I focused on chemical synthesis including organometallic chemistry, chiral at metal molecule synthesis, design and synthesis of non-planar aromatic hydrocarbon as well as the preparation of radioactive pharmaceuticals (with Prof. Roger Alberto at UZH). In the Feng group, my research focuses on designing new bio-inspired systems for active drug delivery and modifying porous materials for sustainability and health applications.
