ChemComm Emerging Investigators Desktop Seminar Series

Introducing ChemComm’s Emerging Investigators Desktop Seminar series

Welcome to the latest RSC Desktop Seminars, sponsored by  ChemComm, featuring researchers from our 2020 Emerging Investigators collection. Each session will highlight two early career speakers working in a similar field.

The RSC Desktop Seminar Series is an effort to not only replace in-person research seminars during the current pandemic situation, but to also expand access for researchers around the world looking to connect to some of the leading minds in the chemical sciences. While these RSC Desktop Seminars are taking place in the time zone working hours for the speakers, we encourage any and all interested to register and attend and recordings of the seminars will be available to all registrants after the session.

Upcoming seminars:

Tuesday 17th November 15:00 GMT 

15:05 – “Molecules in a Hurry to Get Rid of Antiaromaticity “
Judy Wu, University of Houston, USA

15:35 – “Development of Chiral Diazaphospholene Catalysis”

SU 120: Celebrating 120 Years of Soochow University

Situated in the historical and picturesque city of Suzhou, a metropolis well reputed in the world for its classic gardens, Soochow University (SU) was founded in 1900 and represents one of the first modern universities in China. Soochow University is a top comprehensive university in Jiangsu Province, listed as a key university of “Project 211” and a member of “the Double First-Class” Initiative.

The College of Chemistry, Chemical Engineering and Materials Science grew out of the Chemistry Department of Soochow University, which was founded in 1914 and was one of the earliest chemistry departments in China. The chemistry research at SU focuses on precision synthesis, micro/nano materials for environmental science, energy and materials, health chemistry and diagnosis, precision catalysis and application as well as green chemistry and chemical engineering. As a result of the scientific and technological innovation strategy “Think Big and Start Small”, Soochow University has harvested fruitful results in chemistry innovation. As indicated by data from Nature Index and Lens in 2017, the field of chemistry at Soochow University headed the list of mainland universities among the global innovative scientific research institutions and universities. Noticeably, both the disciplines of Chemistry and Materials Science at the College are listed in the top 1‰ around the world according to the latest Essential Science Indicators (ESI).

“Following the rapid developments in new technology and equipment, today we are living in a golden age of chemistry.” says Prof. Jianlin Yao, Dean of the College of Chemistry, Chemical Engineering and Materials Science, Soochow University. “Soochow University chemists will continue to work on original innovation, breakthrough techniques and technology transfer in practical application, and all of us are committed to the sustainable development goals of humanity.”

To celebrate the 120th anniversary, we are sharing a special virtual issue of research articles from Soochow University chemists. Authors across the university have contributed more than 60 articles on topics ranging from synthetic chemistry to biological chemistry and other cross chemistry disciplines. We hereby invite you to read through these selected articles to witness the achievements made by Soochow University in the past few years (2015-2020).
