Who am I 

I am a Chemist at Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical Research and Development, L.L.C. My primary responsibility is making molecules that will become new drugs, or at least facilitate the discovery of new drugs. Before I joined J&J, I spent five years at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and earned a Ph.D. degree in chemistry.

 

Where am I 

I am now living in San Diego, CA, near the beautiful coastline of Torrey Pines State Reserve and Del Mar. I really like this place, and am trying to enjoy the sunshine whenever I have time. 

 

Where am I from

I recently graduated from Department of Chemistry, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC). My research advisor was professor David Y. Gin. My graduate study involves the development of novel strategies for the synthesis of aminoglycosides. If you are interested, you can watch a brief presentation.

Before I came to the US, I obtained BS degree in chemistry from Peking University at Beijing, China. Peking University is one of the finest Universities in China. Her campus is so beautiful!  Here are some photos of my favorite campus. I also have established a new forum for our PKU friends.
