Brief CV and Research Interests

Jinkui Tang received his PhD degree in 2001 from Nankai University under the supervision of Prof. Dai-Zheng Liao and then worked as a postdoctoral fellow at Universität Karlsruhe (TH) in the research group of Prof. Annie K. Powell and Universiteit Leiden with Prof. Jan Reedijk, before initiating his independent career at Changchun Institute of Applied Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2007. Tang group’s research interests are centred around the design and characterization of coordination compounds with interesting magnetic properties.
