Mukund Sibi earned his PhD from the City University of New York. After postdoctoral studies, he began his independent career at North Dakota State University where he is currently a University Distinguished Professor. His research focus is on radical chemistry, development of enantioselective reactions, total synthesis, and green chemistry.
Chaozhong Li received his BSc degree from University of Science and Technology of China in 1988 and PhD degree from Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry (SIOC), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) in 1993. After about 5 years’ postdoctoral experience at Iowa State University, he returned to SIOC in 1999 and was promoted to Full Professor in 2000. His research interests focus on radicals in organic synthesis.
Ning Jiao received his PhD degree with Prof. Shengming Ma at Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry (SIOC) in 2004. He then spent 2004–2006 as an Alexander von Humboldt Postdoctoral Fellow with Prof. Manfred T. Reetz at Max Planck Institute für Kohlenforschung. In 2007, he joined the faculty at Peking University as an Associate Professor, and was promoted to Full Professor in 2010. His current research efforts are focused on: (1) aerobic oxidation, oxygenation, nitrogenation, and halogenation reactions; (2) the first-row transition metal catalysis and the inert chemical bonds activation.
