Dr. Hsuan-Hung Liao successfully obtained his Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry from RWTH Aachen University, Germany, with the support of a DAAD Scholarship under the supervision of Prof. Magnus Rueping. His academic achievements led to the award of a doctoral degree with the highest distinction of summa cum laude.

He initially conducted his postdoctoral research at RWTH Aachen University for a year. Afterward, he received the Marie Sklodowska-Curie Individual Fellowship and became a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Bristol, United Kingdom, under the supervision of Prof. Varinder Aggarwal, FRS.

He then returned to Taiwan in 2019 to begin his independent career as an Assistant Professor of Chemistry at National Sun Yat-sen University (NSYSU), where he also received the Ministry of Science and Technology Young Scholar Fellowship. Years later, he is now an Associate Professor at the same university and recently received the Thieme Chemistry Journal Award.
 

Internship in Dr. Liao’s group provides vast growth opportunities due to the established high-quality training set-up in the laboratory to develop or enhance the capacity for chemical synthesis. Complementary to the synthetic skills, interns will also be trained to use state-of-the-art analytical and automation equipment such as carousel reaction set-ups, High-Performance Liquid chromatography (HPLC), and Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry, which are routinely used for enantioselective synthesis in Liao group. Intern’s engagement in this high-level method development and total synthesis will expand their skill set to complement their existing knowledge. Moreover, the high-impact publications from this research will increase the intern's profile and exposure to the chemistry community.
