Congqing Zhu was born in Anhui, China, in 1986. He received his B.S. degree from Anqing Teachers College in 2008 and his Ph.D. from Xiamen University in 2014 under the supervision of Prof. Haiping Xia. After finishing his iChEM fellow research in collaborative innovation center of chemistry for energy materials (iChEM) of China, he continued his research as postdoctoral associate in the group of Prof. Richard R. Schrock at MIT. He started his independent career at Nanjing University in late 2016. Homepage: http://hysz.nju.edu.cn/zcq/
