 ch\nProf. Jieping Zhu earned his B.Sc. from Hangzhou Normal University and
  his M.Sc. from Lanzhou University (P. R. China) under the guidance of Pro
 fessor Yulin LI. He then completed a Ph.D. at University Paris XI\, France
 \, with Professor H.-P. Husson and Pr. J. C. Quirion. After an 18-month po
 st-doctoral stay with Professor Sir D. H. R. Barton at Texas A & M Univers
 ity (USA)\, he joined the CNRS “Institut de Chimie des Substances Nature
 lles” as a Chargé de Recherche and was promoted to Director of Research
  2nd class in 2000 and then 1st class in 2006. In September 2010\, he move
 d to the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne\, Switzerland as Profe
 ssor of Organic Chemistry. His research focuses on synthetic methodology\,
  catalytic enantioselective transformations and the total synthesis of com
 plex natural products.\n\nThis is a free event. Registration is required a
 nd possible until September 29th\, 2025\n
