Our works has been published in more than 90 Science Citation Index papers, including Journal of the American Chemical Society, Organic Letters, Chemical Communications, Organic Letters, and Advanced Synthesis and Catalysis. Over 5000 citation so far have been registered from Thomson Reuter ® ISI Web of Knowledge. Notably, my current H-index is 48 and is listed as top 1% most cited scientists. Prof. YU Wing Yiu Michael Professor Associate Head of Department Research Overview Our group aspires to develop fundamental breakthrough for powering future innovation in green chemical synthesis. My research focuses on: (1) Activation of inert carbon-hydrogen bonds for catalytic cross coupling reactions, and (2) Catalytic multicomponent coupling for stereoselective synthesis.
