Lumin Zhang

Lumin Zhang's research is in synthetic organic chemistry, focusing on developing new catalytic reactions to build complex carbon-based molecules. This includes work with reactive intermediates called carbenes and nitrenes, gold and nickel catalysis, and light-driven (photochemical) reactions to construct rings and other structural motifs used in making molecules for potential drug discovery and materials applications. The work is largely methodological, meaning it develops new chemical tools and reactions rather than studying a single class of target molecules.

Publication output has been modest and fairly steady over the past decade, generally producing one to a few papers per year without a clear upward or downward trend.
