Jianyong Zhang received his PhD in Chemistry from the National University of Singapore in 2003 after obtaining a B.Sc. from Central South University of Technology, China in 1996 and an MSc from Nankai University, China in 1999. He was a post-doctoral research fellow at the Institut de Recherches sur la Catalyse (CNRS), France from 2002 to 2003 and at Queen's University Belfast from 2003 to 2006. He joined Sun Yat-Sen University, China where he currently serves as a professor at the School of Materials Science and Engineering, in 2006. His research interests and activities are mainly in the interdisciplinary areas of supramolecular chemistry, materials chemistry, catalysis, and organometallic/coordination chemistry. His recent work primarily focuses on dynamic covalent gels, metal-organic gels and coordination-based supramolecular materials.
