Dr. Chun-Yu Ho received his Ph.D. in 2005, for his development in the
area of organocatalytic asymmetric epoxidation, under the supervision of
Prof. Dan Yang in The University of Hong Kong (HKU). After pursing
post-doctoral research for transition metal catalysis with Prof. Timothy
F. Jamison during 2005-07 in Massachusetts Institute of Technology
(MIT), he started his independent career at The Chinese University of
Hong Kong (CUHK) as a Research Assistant Professor in 2007. Now he is an
Associate Professor in South University of Science and Technology of
China (SUSTC) and Adjunct AP of CUHK.

Dr. Ho shared his recent breakthrough in the area
of alkene chemistry during the 5th International Conference on
Cutting-Edge Organic Chemistry in Asia (ICCEOCA-5), 7-11 November 2010.
He has been selected by the coordinator of Japan to receive an ACP
Lectureship Award and invited to deliver a series of lectures in 2011.
The presented work complements the P-Ni-H catalyzed alkene dimerization (for monoenes) and olefin cross-metathesis technology (for internal olefins), provides the first highly selective catalytic route to synthesize unsymmetric geminal disubstituted alkenes directly from two different types of monosubstituted olefins (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkene). US Patent filed on 16 Feb 2010 via TLO, CUHK.

Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2010, 49, 9182.
