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. 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!

Liu Group end-of-year celebration! Celebrating a year of fruitful achievements, our research team looks ahead to greater success in the future. Bravo!

Welcome Yekebing (吴也柯冰) to join us as an undergraduate researcher. He will work with Zhiyang on designing new mechanophores!

Welcome Shuo (陈硕) to join us. Shuo will be working with us on his thesis.

Yun was invited to give a talk at the Singapore Scientific Conference 2025 the day before and today in the Department of Chemistry at the National University of Singapore.

Welcome Tong (磨瞳) to join us as an undergraduate researcher. She will work with Yiting on polymer mechanochemistry!

Yun delivered an invited talk in the 2025 National Meeting of CCS Polymer Division!

Welcome Bofan (萧博凡) to join us as an undergraduate researcher. He will work with Xingjian on poly(disulfide) synthesis!

Yun has received the recognition of Young Investigator Award from the Polymer Division of CCS and Chinese Polymer Platform (CPP)!

Yiting and Xingjian have racked up a departmental scholarship!

Shihao has been named to receive the National Scholarship, great job and big congrats!

We welcome first-year graduate students, Xu (张旭) and Zhiyang (刘志阳), to join the group! Xu is an undergraduate of Peking University and Zhiyang comes to us from Peking University, too.
