Wgroup member: Weifeng Shi Graduate student (1999 ~ 2004) Weifeng has explored the chemistry of 1,2-shift of Rh(II) carbene. He discovered 1,2-double and 1-2-triple bond shifts. He also initiated several projects, including 1,2-thio shift and 1,3 C-H insertions of Rh(II) carbene. Weifeng joined professor Dieter Fenske's group in Universität Karlsruhe (Germany) as a postdoctoral fellow. Email: nakayamaamishen@hotmail.com

Welcome to my page. I'd like to introduce myself to you. I was born in Zhangjiagang, Jiangsu province, China. I went to Beida in 1995. I got my B.S. degree in 1999 and Ph.D. in 2004, both under professor Jianbo Wang's direction. Music, cooking and playing basketball are my hobbies.
