个人简介
Pengfei received Master of Science degree (2014) at East China University of Science and Technology (ECUST) under the supervision of Prof. Xiaofeng Tong. He then joined Prof. Scott A. Snyder’s group and earned PhD degree in August 2019 at University of Chicago. From September 2019 to March 2021, Pengfei conducted postdoc research with Prof. Phil S. Baran at The Scripps Research Institute, where he was a Hewitt Foundation Fellow working on synthetic electrochemistry. He is currently an assistant professor at Westlake University since April 2021. His research interest is total synthesis of bioactive natural product, synthetic electrochemical chemistry, and medicinal chemistry.
