Polyoxometalate-Based Assemblies and Functional Materials

Prof. Dr. Yu-Fei SONG received his BS (1997) and PhD (2002) degree from Shanxi University. After postdoc research in Leiden University (2002-2004, The Netherlands, Supervisor: Prof. Dr. Jan Reedijk), Max-Planck Institute of Bio-inorganic Chemistry (2004-2005, Germany, Supervisor: Prof. Dr. Karl Wieghardt), and The University of Glasgow (2005-2008, UK, Supervisor: Prof. Dr. Leroy Cronin), he joined Beijing University of Chemical Technology (BUCT) in Sep, 2008. He is currently holding a full professor position in the State Key Laboratory of Chemical Resource Engineering, BUCT. His research directions mainly focus on the polyoxometalate-based molecular assemblies and multifunctional materials. He has published over 120 research papers in SCI journals and received the following awards “New Century Excellent Talent of Ministry of Education” (2009); “National Science Foundation for Excellent Young Scholars of China” (2012); “ChangJiang Scholars Program-Young Scholars, Ministry of Education” (2015); and “National Science Foundation for Distinguished Young Scholars of China” (2016).
