Qixuan Wang

PhD candidate, Academy for Advanced Interdisciplinary Studies, Peking University

My major is Integrative Life Sciences (Chemistry). I am currently involved in scientific research towards total synthesis of bioactive natural products. I have also begun preliminary explorations in developing methodologies of enzyme-catalyzed organic synthesis. Additionally, I show interest in programming (e.g., Python and C#), with exposure to areas like website development, web scraping, and desktop application design (e.g., WinForms) to support scientific work.
