Dr. Jin-Dong Yang 杨金东 (assistant professor):

Jin-Dong Yang was born in 1987 in Anhui, China. He received his B.Sc. in chemistry in 2009 from Nankai University. Then, he continued his graduate studies in organic thermodynamics and kinetics at the same university from 2009 to 2014. In 2014.12~2017.07, he has taken up a postdoctoral fellowship at Nankai University with Prof. Jin-Pei Cheng. He is devoted to the establishment of iBonD. Now, he moves to CBMS of Tsinghua University, as an assistant of Prof. Cheng.
