Jianfeng Jiang

Jianfeng Jiang is an Associate Professor of Chemistry at Yeshiva University. He holds a BS from Peking University and a PhD from Stony Brook University (SUNY), followed by postdoctoral research at Harvard University and Duke University. His research focuses on the structural and functional analysis of metallo-enzymes, particularly hydrogenase active sites, through synthetic and reactivity studies of structural analog complexes.

Education:

• PhD in Chemistry, State University of New York at Stony Brook
• BS in Chemistry, Peking University

Teaching: Courses include General Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry (lecture and lab), Environmental Toxin Analysis, and Chemistry of Metals in Biology. Recent courses span 2017–2018, emphasizing practical and theoretical aspects of chemical analysis and bioinorganic systems.

Research Interests: Dr. Jiang investigates metallo-enzyme active sites, particularly hydrogenases, aiming to understand their catalytic mechanisms via synthetic analogs. His work bridges inorganic chemistry with biochemistry, focusing on enzyme structure-function relationships.

Lab/Team: While no specific lab name is provided, his research involves collaborative studies on enzymatic systems and metal coordination chemistry.
