We welcome first-year graduate students, Baitong (曾百彤), Yipeng (汪义朋) and Yufen (马宇芬) to join the group! Baitong and Yipeng is an undergraduate of Peking University, Yufen come to us from Sichuan University.

From July 19 to July 25, the 2026 Summer School on "Chemical Science at the Intersection" (Special Topics on AI, Chemistry, and Art) was successfully held at Peking University. Yun co-organized this summer school with Wenbin and Jian. 

Welcome Yuhan (张玉涵) to join us as an undergraduate researcher. He will work with Xingjian on living cationic polymerization.

Another graduate season, we are proud of our four undergraduates. Yichen will join the University of California, Los Angeles to further explore new chemistry. Zhi will join Sichuan University. Shuo will join Shenzhen Experimental School as a chemistry teacher. Baitong and Yipeng will enjoy their summer before returning as a graduate student in the department. All the others are too shy to have their photos posted, but we wish them the best!

Welcome Yipeng (吴奕澎) to join us as an undergraduate researcher. He will work with Xu on the synthesis of oligo(disulfide)s.

Welcome Yipeng (汪义朋) to join us as an undergraduate researcher. He is still getting familiar with the group and we are sure he will soon find out what he wants to do!

Congratulations! Tianyu has received the recognition of Beijing Outstanding Graduate.

Xingjian was funded to attend the Bordeaux Polymer Conference 2026 in France, from June 1-4.

Congratulations! Tianyu, Shihao and Weixiu successfully passed their thesis defense today. 

Welcome Ziyuan (黄子源) to join us as an undergraduate researcher. He will also work with Bowen on the mechanistic study of hydrogen-bonding catalysis!

Welcome Mingze (李明泽) to join us as an undergraduate researcher. He will work with Bowen on the mechanistic study of hydrogen-bonding catalysis!
