Dr. Lu obtained her Ph.D. in Chemistry from New York University, where she studied organic and polymer chemistry. Her doctoral research focused on the invention of a core-shell micelle supported dual catalyst nanoreactor for tandem catalysis. Taking advantage of the compartmentalization in the micelle structure, two incompatible catalytic reactions with chiral selectivity can be combined in one-pot in aqueous media.
Prior to joining Goodwin, Dr. Lu worked as a research scientist in the chemical and healthcare industry for five years.
