Summary
Han received his B.S. in Chemistry in 2010 from Shanxi University, Taiyuan, China, during which he was extremely active in science research and had previous experience in organometallic chemistry, especially the preparation of O,N-bidentate ligands. He has been a graduate student at Southern Methodist University since August 2010. During his time as a graduate student, he has won several awards for his research, which has been published in several top journals and presented at a number of academic conferences.
