Bio

Lingchun Li was born in Jiangsu (P. R. of China) in 1988. He obtained his BSc degree from Tongji University (P. R. of China) in 2010 and his Ph.D. in organic chemistry from Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry (SIOC), Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2015 under the supervision of Professor Jinbo Hu. Then he joined the Hu group at SIOC as a research assistant (2015-2016). His research involved fluoroalkylation and fluorination based on difluorocarbene chemistry. In 2016, he joined the Matyjaszewski polymer group as a visiting scholar with SIOC fellowship to study Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization (ATRP).
