Yishu Jiang—Assistant Professor of Chemistry
Where is home/where did you grow up?
I am from Xian, China, the ancient capital city of China known for the terracotta army.
Why did you choose chemistry as a career?
I chose chemistry because I like shining colorful compounds I made.
What is your proudest accomplishment while at the UofR?
I am proud to be able to join this department!
What do you like to do when not in the department?
I like hiking and I make wooden dollhouse furniture as a hobby, especially those of vintage styles.
A Rochester must?
Soaked by the rain, I suppose.
The goal of this initiative is to highlight the diversity of backgrounds and perspectives in the Department of Chemistry and help our community develop stronger connections and synergies. You can think of these spotlights as the beginning of a conversation that we very much hope you will continue in the corridors of Hutch and beyond.
