       Dr. Xin Li (李鑫)-Professor: Xin Li was born in 1980 in Tianjin, China. He received his B.Sc. in chemistry in 2002 from Nankai University. He pursued graduate studies at the same university from 2002 to 2007 under the supervision of Prof. Jin-Pei Cheng, working in the area of physical organic chemistry. After completing his PhD, he took up a postdoctoral fellowship at Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Science (ICCAS), in the research group of Prof. Sanzhong Luo. In 2010, he returned to Nankai University. In 2018 he was promoted to professor. His current research interests include asymmetric catalysis by chiral hydrogen-bonding catalysts and application of physical organic chemistry in the mechanism study of organocatalysis. He has been published more than 80 papers in Nat. Commun., Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., J. Am. Chem. Soc., ACS Catal., Chem. Sci. Chem. Commun., Org. Lett., etc.
