Bio-Sketch

Shaozhong was born in Anhui, China in 1980. He received his B.A. in polymer chemistry from University of Science and Technology of China (Hefei, Anhui) in 2002. Then, he moved to Finland to start an international master's program in Åbo Akademi University and got his M. Sc. in chemical engineering in 2004, developing group IV (Zr and Hf) metallocene catalysts for olefin polymerization. As he could not tolerate the extreme weather in Finland, he moved to Univeristy of Groningen in Netherland to continue his graduate study. He studied organo rare earth metal catalysts for olefin functionalization and polymerization, and obtained his Ph.D. degree in 2009 from University of Groningen under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Bart Hessen. From 2010 to 2014, he worked for Prof. John F. Hartwig as a postdoc research associate, developing nickel- and palladium-catalyzed (asymmetric) C-C and C-N cross-coupling chemistry in University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and University of California at Berkeley. In January of 2015, he joined the Chemistry Department at National University of Singapore as an Assistant Professor, and was promoted to associate professor with tenure in January of 2021.
