Lu, Yixin - National University of Singapore - Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science

个人简介

Prof. Yixin Lu studied chemistry and received his B.Sc. from Fudan University, and continued his graduate studies in Canada and obtained his Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry under the supervision of Prof. George Just from McGill University in 2000. He then carried out his postdoctoral research with Prof. Peter W. Schiller at Clinical Research Institute of Montreal and subsequently worked as an RCMS fellow with Prof. Ryoji Noyori at Nagoya University. He joined the National University of Singapore (NUS) and started his independent career in September 2003, and rose through the ranks to become a Professor in July 2014. He was the recipient of a number of awards, including Asian Core Program (ACP) Lectureship Awards to China, Japan, Korea and Taiwan (2009 2016); Young/Outstanding Scientist Award from the Faculty of Science, NUS (2009, 2013); GSK-SNIC Award in Organic Chemistry (2013); Dean’s Chair Professorship (2013); NRF Investigatorship Award (2018). He is an Editorial Advisory Board Member for Accounts of Chemical Research, an Editorial Board Member for Asian Journal of Organic Chemistry, and an Associate Editor for Green Synthesis and Catalysis.
