About Qianrong
Qianrong grew up in Jianou, Fujian, China. After he earned his B.S. degree from Jilin University in 2001, he continued to pursue graduate studies at Jilin University working under the direction of Professor Shilun Qiu. His doctoral research was focused on the structural design and synthetic development of inorganic porous materials, especially metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Motivated by the deep interest in inorganic materials chemistry cultivated by his graduate studies, Qianrong then carried out postdoctoral studies with Professor Omar Yaghi at UCLA (2007-2008), Professor Hong-Cai Zhou at Texas A&M (2008-2009), Professor Yushan Yan at UC Riverside (2009-2012) and UDel (2012-2014). His postdoctoral research was focused on crystalline porous materials, such as MOFs and covalent organic frameworks. In the winter of 2014, Qianrong went back to Jilin University to start his independent career.
