Peng Liu
Postdoctoral Fellow, The Houk Group, UCLA, 2010-2014
Synthetic Organic Chemistry, Mechanistic Design, Theoretical Chemistry
Peng Liu was a postdoctoral scholar in the Houk group between 2010 and 2014.
While working in the Center Peng worked as part of numerous collaborative projects seeking to gain a greater understanding of the mechanistic details of C–H Functionalization.
He began his independant research career as Assistant Professor at the University of Pittsburgh in 2014.
