Dr. Jin-Dong Yang was graduated from Nankai University (2009). He obtained his Ph.D. degree from Nankai University (2014), followed by the post-doctorial research work at the same campus (2014-2017). He has joined Tsinghua University since 2017 and was promoted as an associate professor in 2021. He is interested in bond energetics as well as applications of bond energies in orgainc syntheses and mechainsm studies.
