个人简介
1998年毕业于西北大学化学系有机化学专业。同年，保送至中国科学院兰州化学物理研究所师从殷元骐研究员攻读博士学位，研究方向金属有机与均相催化。期间，主要从事过渡金属羰基簇合物的合成与不对称催化研究工作。2004-05年, 参加中国科学研究上海有机化学研究所邓敏智研究员课题组，进行钯催化有机硼酸与羧酸偶联反应的研究。2005－07年，赴美国德州基督大学(Texas Christian University)，研究过渡金属簇合物对C-P键的切断。2007－2010年，在英国约克大学(The University of York)进行一氧化碳释放分子的研发。
长期从事金属有化学的基础研究，主要兴趣在于金属有机反应机理和新反应，同时涉及均相催化，生物金属有机，及含能材料等领域。
