Nguyen, Vinh - University of New South Wales

个人简介

Dr. Vinh Nguyen (also known as: Thanh Vinh Nguyen or Thanh V. Nguyen on academic publication) was born in Vietnam. After high school, he went to Sydney, Australia to study industrial chemistry at University of New South Wales. He then moved to undertake his PhD in organic chemistry with Professor Michael Sherburn at the Australian National University, Canberra. He had worked to develop new synthetic methodologies for application in natural product synthesis and worked on the design and synthesis of enormoussynthetic host molecules for drug-delivery modelling. After graduating in 2010, he came to work on organocatalysis in Professor Dieter Enders group at the Institute of Organic Chemistry, RWTH Aachen, Germany under the auspices of an Alexander von Humboldt Postdoctoral Fellowship. In June 2013, he moved to Curtin University (Perth, Australia) to start his own independent research group. In June 2015, he moved again to UNSW (Sydney) to take up a Lecturer/DECRA fellow position at the School of Chemistry. His current research interests are organocatalysis, aromatic cation activation, synthesis of naturally occurring and bioactive compounds, asymmetric synthesis and medicinal chemistry. Selected Awards and Academic Achievements 2016: The 2016 Athel Beckwith Lectureship from RACI Organic Chemistry Division 2015-2018: ARC Discovery Early Career Researcher Award (DECRA) 2014: Thieme Chemistry Journal Award for outstanding early career academics. 2011 – 2013: Alexander von Humboldt Postdoctoral Fellowship (RWTH Aachen, Germany). 2005: The Era Polymer Prize for “The Best Honor Research Thesis” in Industrial Chemistry – UNSW 2000: Silver medal in the 32nd International Chemistry Olympiad in Copenhagen, Denmark

研究领域
