Professor Wang Jun Awarded the Prestigious RGC Senior Research Fellowship

Professor Wang Jun, from the Department of Chemistry, HKBU Faculty of Science has been awarded the prestigious RGC Senior Research Fellowship. This five-year grant of approximately HK$8.2 million supports her groundbreaking project in asymmetric catalysis. Her awarded project, “Molecular Design and Modular Editing of Chiral Phosphine-Alkene Ligands via Asymmetric Hydrofunctionalisation”, introduces a concise, direct and modular method for synthesising valuable chiral phosphorus compounds—a class of molecules that play a vital role in modern chemistry. #HKBU #ResearchOffice #RGC #SeniorResearchFellowship #WangJun
