Guangfan Zheng Northeast Normal University
Guangfan Zheng was born in 1988 in Yanbian, Jilin, China. He is currently a Professor and Doctoral Supervisor at the School of Chemistry, Northeast Normal University (NENU). He earned his B.S. in Chemistry from Jilin University in 2010, and completed his Ph.D. at NENU in 2017 under the guidance of Professors Qian Zhang and Haizhu Sun. Following his Ph.D., he served as an Assistant Researcher at the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences (2017–2018). He then transitioned to Shaanxi Normal University as an Associate Professor (2018–2020), where his research centered on C–H bond activation and asymmetric catalysis. In December 2020, he returned to NENU as a faculty member and was promoted to Professor in 2025. His independent research focuses on radical chemistry and asymmetric catalysis, with an emphasis on developing novel radical cascade reactions and catalytic strategies to enable high-value transformations of readily available substrates such as alkenes, aldehydes, and carboxylic acid derivatives. He has published over 30 SCI-indexed papers as first or corresponding authors in leading journals including Nature Commun., Science Adv., Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. and CCS Chemistry. He also contributed a chapter to a handbook on C–H activation. His academic honors include selection for the Organic Chemistry Frontiers Emerging Investigator Series (2022–2023), the Special Support Grant from the China Postdoctoral Science Foundation (2019), and the Outstanding Doctoral Dissertation Award of Jilin Province (2017).
