Biography
- Lei obtained his Ph.D. (2014 - 2018) in chemistry at the University of Sydney under the supervision of
Prof. Kate Jolliffe, followed by a postdoctoral research associate (2018 – 2019) at the same group. He was
then undertaking a postdoctoral research fellow position (2019) at Texas University, Austin, under the
supervision of Prof. Jonathan Sessler. Currently (2021 - Present), Lei is a postdoctoral fellow in the Kilian’s
laboratory at the University of New South Wales.
