Biography:


Yunfeiwas born and raised in Ninglang County, and later completed his highschool in Lijiang City, both of which are scenic towns in China. Heearned his B.S. and M.S. degrees from Fudan University in 1998 and2001, respectively, in Shanghai, China. Following that, he took aresearch assistant position at the Shanghai Institute of OrganicChemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, from 2001 to 2004.

In2006, he embarked on his Ph.D. studies at the University ofLiverpool, sponsored by the Dorothy Hodgkin Postgraduate Award. Priorto this, he had worked in the industry for two years. During hisdoctoral studies, he was under the supervision of Dr. Andrew Carnelland Prof. Jianliang Xiao. He successfully completed his Ph.D. in 2011at the University of Liverpool and was awarded the Chinese GovernmentAward for Outstanding Self-Financed Students Abroad by the ChineseScholarship Council in recognition of his achievements during hisPh.D. program.

Subsequently,he worked as a postdoctoral researcher in Prof. Hon Wai Lam's groupat the University of Edinburgh from 2011 to 2013, and later at theUniversity of Nottingham from 2013 to 2016, before establishing hisindependent research career at the School of Chemistry and ChemicalEngineering, Hefei University of Technology in Hefei, China.


ResearchInterests

Yunfei'sresearch interests encompass the development of new reactions withpractical applications and the investigation of reaction mechanisms.His primary research area is transition metal catalysis, with aparticular focus on exploring rhodium-catalyzed [3+2] annulationreactions, with the goal of extending the applicability of thisreaction from specific cases to more general scenarios. He is alsointerested in probing the fundamental aspects of reaction mechanisms,including reaction kinetics and elementary reactions, to gain abetter understanding of the correlation between catalysts andreaction activity, ultimately applied to practical synthesis.
