Bio
Prof. Xin Hong received his BS degree from University of Science and Technology of China in 2010 under the guidance of Prof. Yao Fu and PhD from University of California, Los Angeles in 2014 under the guidance of Prof. K. N. Houk. After postdoc researches with Prof. K. N. Houk in UCLA and Prof. Jens K. Nørskov in Stanford, Xin joined the Department of Chemistry at Zhejiang University as an assistant professor in 2016.
Prof. Hong’s primary research interests focus on the mechanistic elucidation of organic reaction through quantum chemical simulation, fundamental principle and controlling factor of reactivity and selectivity in synthetic transformation, and data-driven design of catalyst, reagent and transformation. He has published over 80 publications in prestigious journals including Acc. Chem. Res., Nat. Chem., Nat. Catal., J. Am. Chem. Soc., Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. since his independent career at Zhejiang University. His research achievements have been acknowledged by a number of awards including Rising Star Award in Physical Organic Chemistry (2018) by CCS, Youth Chemistry Award (2020) by CCS, and JOC Outstanding Article of the Year Lectureship Award (2021) by ACS. Prof. Hong serves as member of CCS Physical Organic Professional Committee and the Editorial Board of National Science Open.
