CV
Shenglai Yao studied chemistry and completed his B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees at the Hua-Zhong Normal University in P.R. China. In 2000, he moved to Germany and began his doctoral research under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Karl W. Kliknkhammer and received his Ph. D. degree in 2005 at the Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz. Afterwards he joined the Driess group at the Technische Universität at Berlin and continues to work in the group as a senior researcher. He has a strong interest in coordination chemistry of low-valent main-group elements and transition metals and contributed a series of highly reactive metal-free and transition metal systems for small molecule activation.
