معرفی
Shiyu Zhang is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry at The Ohio State University. His research focuses on bioinorganic chemistry, sustainable energy materials, and C-H functionalization. He holds a B.S. in Chemistry and Biology from Jilin University (2010) and a Ph.D. in Chemistry from Georgetown University (2015), where he received the ACS DIC Young Investigator Award. His postdoctoral work at MIT and Harvard explored electrolytes for energy storage systems. Key research areas include modeling bimetallic enzyme systems, developing organic battery materials, and advancing copper-catalyzed C-H fluorination methods.
