A big thank you to Prof. Harry Anderson @HLAGroupOx for delivering two outstanding lectures this week at the Faculty of Science (FoS), NUS, as an FoS Distinguished Visitor. Our students and colleagues greatly enjoyed his inspiring talks and beautiful research!
Congratulations to all the winners! 🎉👏
NUS research stars Prof Wu Jishan received the President’s Science Award while Asst Prof Liu Boxiang and Asst Prof Hou Yi won the Young Scientist Award at the President’s Science and Technology Awards 2026, organised by NRF. Congrats to our winners! 🎉

Just out in @angew_chem! We show a pyrene-fused azaacene derivative in which steric overcrowding caused by eight phenyl substituents induces bending of the aromatic framework rather than twisting doi.org/10.1002/anie.3918437
Yi will begin his independent career as a tenure-track associate professor at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. Congratulations, Yi!🎉🎉🎉 Wishing you every success in this exciting new chapter of your career.
After 10 years of studying and working @ChemNUS , I will start my new career as associate professor @SJTU_GIFT.
Sincerely appreciate my supervisor Prof Chi’s professional guidance and full support, Prof Wu’s advice and help and lab mates’ accompany.
Best wishes to everyone!

Awesome to have Jin-Quan Yu @YulabJin from @scrippsresearch in the house at @ChemNUS over the past 2 days in Singapore. Inspiring talks on the power of C-H activation for reactivity, enantioselectivity, site selectivity and sustainability.

A fantastic, festive dinner at La Mariana Sailing Club and Tiki Bar for the invited speakers of the Pacifichem 2025 sympoium on "Designed π-Systems" – great food, great camaraderie, and just a great time had by all! Many thanks to @Scott61144 for first taking us there long ago.

And with that, the "Designed π-Systems" symposium at Pacifichem 2025 is a wrap! Happy to hand the reigns over to these three. Having been on the organizing team since 2005, it is time for new blood. I look forward to seeing what program you all put together for 2030! Mahalo!!!
Many thanks to all the chairs @UOHaleyLab @afukazawa79 @profjasti @ChalifouxGroup for the fantastic organization. 💐💐👍👍

Excited to share our newest JACS paper on double nanohoops featuring a tetrahydroindenoindene linker! In a systematic approach with single-hoop reference compounds, we uncover how geometry & asymmetry enhance optical properties, give record-breaking PLQYs and amplify CD & CPL.
