Blakemore group members

Chao Wang was born in Sichuan, P. R. China, and obtained BS (2000) and MS (2003) degrees from Lanzhou University. After three years of working in the chemical industry in China, she moved to Oregon to pursue a PhD degree in organic chemistry at OSU. Chao's research concerned the continued exploration of 8,8´-biquinolyl chemistry with a focus on the development of applications for these novel heterocyclic biaryl molecules in enantioselective catalysis.
