Dr. Zheng received his B.S. degree in Chemistry in 2006 from Peking University in China while working with Professor Chun-Hua Yan. Shortly after, he joined the laboratory of Professor Peter J. Stang in the chemistry department of the University of Utah, where he focused his graduate research on multi-component coordination supramolecular systems. After receiving his Ph.D. degree in 2011, he moved to Cambridge to work with Professor Stephen J. Lippard as a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Chemistry of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In 2015, he joined Kent State University and currently works on self-assembly and bioinorganic chemistry.
