Biography
Dr. FU received his B.Sc. in chemistry from Hong Kong Baptist University in 2013 and earned his PhD at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (with Professor Fuk Yee Kwong) in 2018. His graduate studies focused on the development of phosphine ligands and palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions. In 2017, He was selected as SciFinder Future Leader by Chemical Abstracts Service (ACS). Following a Croucher Postdoctoral Fellowship at MIT (with Professor Timothy F. Jamison) from 2018 to 2020, he returned to Hong Kong and became a research assistant professor at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. In 2023, He was appointed as Assistant Professor of Chemistry at City University of Hong Kong.
