Dr. Zerong Wang earned his Ph.D. at Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences.  He went on to a postdoctoral at the University of California, Berkeley to study enolate chemistry followed by a second postdoctoral at York University to explore the synthesis of nucleoside analogues.  Dr. Wang is currently an Associate Professor at the University of Houston-Clear Lake, with research interests in photochemistry, nucleosides, heterocycles, computational chemistry, and material science.

"This three-volume compendium of organic name reactions and reagents is one of the most comprehensive and complete works to concisely, yet fully, cover the topic. This book set will be valuable to any laboratory pursuing synthetic organic chemistry and as a comprehensive resource to chemists involved in the synthesis of organic compounds." (Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, March 2010) "The addition of Comprehensive Organic Name Reactions and Reagents to any literature collection will likely lead to frequent use." (The Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2010)
