About
Yu-Mei Lin is an Associate Professor at Xiamen University's School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, specializing in metal cluster chemistry and catalytic reaction design. Her research bridges synthetic chemistry, materials science, and catalysis.
Education:
- Ph.D. in Chemistry, Xiamen University (2005-2010)
- Postdoctoral Research & Humboldt Scholar, University of Marburg, Germany (2010-2012)
- B.S., Quanzhou Teachers College (2001-2005)
Research Focus: Dr. Lin's work centers on designing novel metal clusters and developing catalytic methodologies. Her group explores photoredox systems, metallaaromatic compounds, and nanocluster assemblies for applications in energy conversion, sensing, and green synthesis. Recent advances include visible-light-triggered C-H functionalization and π-aromaticity-driven structural transformations.
Publication Trends: Her recent articles (2019-2024) demonstrate strong emphasis on photoredox catalysis, organometallic synthesis, and nanocluster design, with frequent collaborations in multidisciplinary teams. Works frequently appear in high-impact journals like JACS, Angewandte Chemie, and Nature Communications.
Awards:
- Humboldt Research Fellowship (2011-2012)
