Prof. Shi-Chao Ren completed his PhD at the University of Science and Technology of China in 2018 under the supervision of Prof. Yi-Feng Wang, where he focused on the development of new reactivities of boryl radicals to synthesize organoboron compounds. In 2019, he joined the Prof. Robin Chi group at the Nanyang Technological University for postdoctoral studies on NHC catalysis. Then, he started his independent career at Guizhou University in 2022. His current research interests include the development of novel catalytic synthetic methodologies and bioactive molecules for agricultural applications.
