WORK BIOGRAPHY

Yang entered Shanghai Jiao Tong University to study chemistry through the Chemistry Olympiad and received a bachelor's degree in polymer chemistry in 2015. Then he moved to Peking University, where he obtained his Doctorate in Organic Chemistry in August 2020, under the supervision of Prof. Jian Pei. In October 2020, he joined Prof. Xinliang Feng’s group as a Postdoctoral Researcher at Technische Universität Dresden and Max Planck Institute of Microstructure Physics.
