研究领域

The research program in WU group have broadly and deeply involved in two research fields of organic synthesis, including photocatalysis and continuous-flow synthesis. My research interests focus on developing green and sustainable chemical synthesis by integrating several novel technologies: i) photocatalysis (clean energy), ii) CH and SiH activation (atom-, step-economic synthesis), iii) natural gas-involved transformation (inexpensive feedstocks), iv) flow technology (sustainable process). Our long-term goal is to advance otherwise difficult or ineffective chemical reactions using advanced flow techniques, as well as to develop new chemical strategies to aid the multistep flow process. Our group’s research is truly multidisciplinary including both organic chemistry and engineering aspects, which provides opportunities to learn areas of research outside of traditional organic synthesis. Students in my group will get trained on photocatalysis, continuous-flow synthesis, multistep synthesis, and green chemistry. They will build indepth chemistry background and strong problem-solving techniques. The advantages of continuous flow processing are increasingly being appreciated both by industry and academia, and students expertized in this field will find enormous job opportunities.
