Miaomiao's paper is accepted in Angew Chem Int Ed! Congrats to Miaomiao, Tianyi, and Shihao. Working with Cheng Wang, an AI-for-chemistry expert from Xiamen University, we applied data science tools to understand transition state stabilization of the catalyzed polymer chain propagation.

Welcome Jizheng (杨基正) to join us as an undergraduate researcher. He will also work with Tianyu on aryl-containing poly(disulfide)s!

Welcome Baitong (曾百彤) to join us as an undergraduate researcher. He will work with Tianyu on designing new aryl-containing poly(disulfide)s!

Liu Group end-of-year celebration! It has been a year of growing group size and we are happy to see every still work like a team. Bravo!

Yun has been appointed the Associate Chair of the Department of Polymer Science and Technology. Yun will be responsible primarily for graduate training.

Welcome Wenyu (牛文宇) to join us as an undergraduate researcher. He will work with Xingjian on controlling the polymerization of dithiolanes!

Welcome Zhiyang (刘志阳) to join us also for his thesis, in which he will explore how N atom can be tamed under force!

Welcome Xiaofei (王小菲) and Jionglin (李炯霖) to join us. Xiaofei will be working with us on her thesis, while Jionglin will explore a new territory in polymer mechanochemistry!

Weixiu has racked up a departmental scholarship!

Welcome Yuan (高渊) to join us as an undergraduate researcher to work with Shihao on our new discovery in polymer mechanochemistry!

Yun was elected to serve in the Early Career Advisory Board for three polymer journals in China: Chinese Journal of Polymer Science, Acta Polymerica Sinica, & Polymer Bulletin.

We welcome first-year graduate students, Bowen (王博文) and Zheng (李政), to join the group! Bowen is an undergraduate of Peking University and Zheng come to us from Shandong University.

We receive another grant from the NSFC for modifying polymers with mechanical force! We thank the NSFC for their support and we will get to work!

Yun has the honor to speak as a representative of young PIs in the concluding ceremony of Peking University Junior Faculty Teaching Workshop!

Congrats to Yiting (2nd from left) and Xingjian (4th from right) for passing their qualification! Their performance is very well received in the department. Bravo!

Yiting has racked up a fellowship from the college!

The first batch of newly-minted bachelor from our group. Jieyu (left) will head to Shenzhen for graduate school. Bowen (right) will stay with us and continue making polymers.

Yun was invited as one of the six oversea young scientists to give a talk at the 73rd annual meeting of Society Polymer Science, Japan (SJSP) at the Sendai International Center.

Congrats Tianyi for winning an oral award in the inaugural graduate research symposium organized by the polymer division of Chinese Chemical Society!

Tianyi was named to receive the Chancellor Fellowship of Peking University. A big round of applause!
