Dr. Zhaohui Qu involved in several projects. Her main work was the mechanistic study of the Rh(II)-mediated diazo decomposition, and the reaction mechanism of cabenoids O-H bond insertion. She also initiated a study on the axial ligand effect of the Rh(II)-carbene reaction. Dr. Qu joined General Electronics (China) in Shanghai from July 2002.
Current position: Dow Chemical (China)(Shanghai)
