BS Chemistry and MS Chemistry Degree obtained from University of the Philippines Diliman.

Self-introduction:

Hi, I’m a TIGP PhD student in the Sustainable Chemical Science & Technology (SCST) Program. I really enjoy building things, kind of like Lego, which is why I think I’ve always liked organic synthesis. For my PhD, I’m excited to work on building bigger, complex, and more interesting structures. Outside the lab, I like collecting brick models (specially Pokemon models), playing video games, and watching and reading anime. 

Educational background:

MS in organic chemistry from Government College University Faisalabad, Pakistan

Self-introduction:

Hi, I’m Anila, a first-year Ph.D student in Chemical Biology and Molecular Biophysics (CBMB) at TIGP. I really enjoy designing and synthesizing complex molecules like building intricate puzzles piece by piece. My motivation is to design and develop novel synthetic methodologies in the field of organic chemistry. Outside the lab, I love traveling, baking, and crafting. 

Educational Background:

Year 1 Chemistry master student from National Central University, NCU.

Self-introduction:

I am the first member to join Dr. Hou's lab, commonly known as the founding disciple (kai-shan-da-di-zih). I thoroughly enjoy conducting research here, with new discoveries every day keeping me so engrossed in experiments that I do not want to go home. 

Educational Background:

Year 2 Chemistry master student from National Chung Cheng University, CCU.

Self-introduction:

I am currently a second-year graduate student at Chung Cheng University. My hobbies include playing badminton and baseball, building models, and traveling.

Educational background:

Self- introduction:

My name is Ya-Wen (Ella) Lai. I enjoy reading novels, and I hope the compounds I’m researching for my thesis can be successfully synthesized so that I can graduate with a smile.

Self-introduction:

I obtained a PhD degree in analytical medicinal chemistry with years of pharmaceutical industry experience, now assisting research in organic chemistry lab and helping with administrative and general tasks. In addition, I am also responsible for supporting team collaboration and contributing analytical expertise to organic chemistry studies. 

Educational background:

A sophomore at National Kaohsiung University, Taiwan

Self-introduction:

Hi! My name is Tuo-Jie Wang. You can call me Jaydon. I’m a sophomore student and summer intern from National University of Kaohsiung.

I’m still learning the basics of organic chemistry, so if I have any questions or make mistakes, please feel free to let me know.

My English isn’t perfect yet, but I’m always happy to chat with others, whether it’s about science or just everyday life. I’m looking forward to learning from you all!

Educational background:

Bachelor of Science in Chemistry (Pure Chemistry), Universiti Malaya, Malaysia

Self-introduction:

Hallo, I'm Kee Kok Hui from Malaysia. I am a second-year Bachelor's student in Chemistry at Universiti Malaya. I am interested in organic chemistry and medicinal chemistry, and I really enjoy synthesizing new organic compounds and learning how molecular design can be applied to real-world applications. I hope this two-and-a-half-month internship at Academia Sinica will give me the opportunity to gain more research experience, learn new techniques, and broaden my understanding of scientific research while working with researchers from different backgrounds. Outside the lab, I enjoy playing badminton and trying different kinds of food. 

Education background:

Department of Applied Medical Chemistry, Chung Shan Medical University, Taiwan

Self-Introduction:

Hello, everyone. My name is Qian-Yi Wang. My background is quite unique. In high school, I actually majored in the humanities, but because I was very interested in chemistry and biology, I taught myself in my spare time and eventually transferred into the Department of Applied Chemistry in Medicine. This interdisciplinary experience has helped me develop strong self-learning skills and adaptability, and I’m not afraid to take the initiative to find answers when I encounter something new that I don’t understand.

I think chemistry is like solving a puzzle—it requires a lot of patience and attention to detail. When I’m not doing experiments, I love reading novels and listening to music. Reading novels helps me keep my imagination alive, while listening to music helps me calm down and focus. These two hobbies are my best ways to relieve stress, and they help me stay passionate about life at all times!
