Ph. D. from the School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering of Peking University, and postdoctoral fellow from Rice University, USA. He is the host of the National Natural Science Foundation Youth Project, the Academic Start-up Plan for Young Teachers of Beijing Institute of Technology and the special science and Technology Support plan of the Scientific Research base of Beijing Institute of Technology Innovation Plan. He has published more than 30 academic papers in academic journals at home and abroad, including J. Am. Chem. Soc., Chem. Sci. Let's wait.

My research interests mainly focus on the intersection of chemistry and life science, aiming to explore and regulate the life process through the development of chemical tools, reveal the occurrence and development of biological events, and provide new ideas for the treatment of diseases. These include: 1) The development of low-energy light-activated fluorescent probes to monitor cell communication dynamics; 2) Development of targeted anion ligand therapy for cancer; 3) Developing heavy metal-free photosensitizers for the photodynamic treatment of cancer.
