Research Interests:
My research interests mainly include ：
(i) designing new catalysts, chain transfer agents, and catalytic mechanisms for photo-controlled polymerization,
(ii) developing high-performance photo-controlled polymerization for fabricating next-generation polymeric materials,
(iii) advancing theoretical methods for mechanistic studies on reactions.
