ABOUT
Tengfei Kang is from Xianyang, China, and obtained his PhD from the Sichuan University under the supervision of Prof Xiaoming Feng in 2019. His PhD work mainly focused on catalytic asymmetric transformations by employing chiral N,N′-dioxide/metal complexes and guanidines as catalysts.
After one year as an assistant researcher in the Feng group, he joined the ADS group in September 2020 as a Newton International Fellow to develop novel Brønsted base catalysed rearrangement reactions. In September 2023, he started to work on organocatalytic enantioselective synthesis of boron-containing compounds.
