Axially Chiral Compounds

Bin Tan, tenured full professor, is the vice-chair of chemistry department at Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) in Shenzhen, China. He obtained his M.S. from Xiamen University in 2005, and his Ph.D. from Nanyang Technological University in 2010 with Prof. Guofu Zhong. After two and a half year postdoctoral studies at The Scripps Research Institute with Prof. Carlos F. Barbas, he started his independent career as an associate professor at SUSTech at the end of 2012. His research focuses on asymmetric construction of axially chiral compounds, core structure directed organocatalytic asymmetric synthesis and asymmetric multiple component reactions.
