معرفی
Qiao Cao is a Research Associate in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Bath, actively contributing to organic chemistry research with a focus on photoredox catalysis and molecular detection systems. Current affiliations include collaborations with Professors Cresswell, James, and Jenkins.
Research interests center on organic synthesis methodologies, particularly photoredox-driven C–C/C–N bond formation, superoxide detection in biological systems, and automated drug discovery platforms. Key specialties include carboxylic acid activation, coumarin-based fluorescent probes, and spirocyclic compound synthesis, with applications spanning reactive oxygen species monitoring and pharmaceutical development.
Recent publications demonstrate a clear trajectory in metal-free catalysis and diagnostic tool development, with 2023-2024 works emphasizing practical applications in bacterial imaging and sustainable synthesis. The research integrates photoredox chemistry with drug discovery pipelines, showing increasing industrial relevance through automated synthesis approaches.
Collaborative networks include significant contributions to 3 peer-reviewed articles (2023-2024) and an upcoming PhD thesis on visible-light photocatalysis, with engagement metrics showing 25+ Mendeley readers and social media mentions across publications.
