Yunlong Zhao, undergraduate student, 2020-2023. Current: graduate student, Department of Chemistry, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
During his time with us, Yunlong was a Chemistry major in the College of Creative Studies at UC Santa Barbara. Yunlong received the Robert H. DeWolfe Undergraduate Research Award (2020) and the Willard L. McRary Prize (2022), the highest honor for undergraduate students from Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry. In the lab, Yunlong first worked with Dr. Wenzhen Fu and completed two projects with Wenzhen. Yunlong is also the first student in our group to work on machine learning-guided enzyme engineering.

Benjamin Krohn-Hansen, undergraduate student. Current: graduate student at UC Berkeley.
Postdoctoral Scholars
Dr. Qi Zhou, postdoctoral scholar, 2020-2022.
Current: assistant professor, Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China
Qi received his PhD in Organic Chemistry with Prof. Jianbo Wang from Peking University. In our group, Qi is the first lab member to work on our metalloredox radical biocatalysis project. He published the first paper of our group in this field (Science 2021). He also continued to push the boundaries of P450 atom transfer radical cyclases afterwards. In 2023, Qi is awarded a prestigious junior faculty fellowship to start his independent career at the Institute of Chemistry, CAS.
Dr. Dian Li, postdoctoral scholar, 2022-2023.
Dr. Shuyun Ju, postdoctoral scholar, 2020-2023.
Shuyun received his PhD in Chemical Engineering and Technology from Zhejiang University under the direction of Prof. Jianping Wu. While in the Wu lab, Shuyun studied biocatalysis and biotransformation. He also developed biocatalytic redox approaches for the asymmetric synthesis of chiral carboxyl-substituted tetrahydroisoquinolines. During his time with us, Shuyun pioneered two new directions in our group and published two papers with us.
Dr. Rui Guo, postdoctoral scholar, 2022-2024.
Dr. Sheng Xu, postdoctoral scholar, 2023-2024.
