Welcome to Shi-Yuan's webpage!

I play with the magic of X-ray crystallography to discover the wonderful chemistry and material world in molecular level, such as crystal engineering and molecular chirality. With the powerful tool in hand, I explore the beauty of molecular interactions and recognition for unravelling host-guest behaviour and separation mechanisms.

Implantation of these fundamental insights into higher level of complexity, such as biological systems, motivates me to design novel materials and devices for biomarker detection, drug and gene delivery, and bioimaging. Many of the works are for the search of new materials to find new solutions to environmental and medical challenges.

Thank you for spending time knowing me and my work. Your comments and feedback are gratefully appreciated.
