Originally from Hong Kong, James is the recipient of the Oxford-Croucher Scholarship. He obtained his BSc in chemistry at University College London. He then obtained his MRes degree in Green Chemistry, Energy, and the Environment at Imperial College London focusing on the mechanistically guided optimisation of Ullmann amination under the supervision of Dr. Rob Davies and Prof. Chris Braddock. He worked as a RA in the Yu group of PolyU (HK), focusing on the copper-catalysed C-H activiation for enantioselective C-N functionalisation. Outside the lab, James enjoys exploring the UK and Europe.
