​Rong Zhu
Associate Professor of Organic Chemistry

Biography

  • PI, College of Chemistry and Molecular Engineering, Peking University (2018-now)

  • PostDoc, MIT (2015-2018, with Prof. Timothy M, Swager)

  • Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry,MIT (2015, with Prof. Stephen L. Buchwald)

  • B.S. in Chemistry, Peking University (2010, With Profs. Zhen Yang and Jiahua Chen)


Research Interests

The Zhu group works at the interface of organometallic chemistry, polymer chemistry and organic materials. Our focus is on developing new catalytic transformations and structure designs that enable the creation of new carbon-chain macromolecules possessing unique material properties. Our approach emphasizes inspiration from mechanistic studies and the use of new research tools driven by data and automation.


The lab is known by inventing a new family of polymerization reactions, condensation polymerization of propargylic electrophiles (CPPE), which enables unprecedented cumulene-based functional polymers.
