Wenbin MAO

Dr. Wenbin MAO is a Post-doctoral Research Fellow at the University of Liverpool working in Prof. Dr. John Bower's research group since March 2022. He previously completed his PhD at Technische Universität Berlin under Prof. Oestreich in September 2021.

His academic background includes:

• PhD in Chemistry, Technische Universität Berlin (2021)

Dr. MAO specializes in organic synthesis with emphasis on asymmetric methodologies and organosilicon compounds. His doctoral research pioneered techniques for synthesizing α-chiral silanes through conjugate addition of silicon nucleophiles, addressing stereochemical challenges in unsaturated systems. Current work at Liverpool extends these approaches to novel catalytic frameworks under Prof. Bower's mentorship.

He actively contributes to Prof. John Bower's synthetic chemistry research group at the University of Liverpool, focusing on developing innovative reaction mechanisms and silicon-based synthetic tools.
