YANG, Zhucheng (杨翥成)

Hi, I’m Zhucheng, born in Changzhou, Jiangsu (江苏常州), and spent my university years in Beijing (北京). I work on smart synthesis for atomically-precise nanochemistry.

Beyond the lab, I’m a photography and travel enthusiast, always chasing new sights and capturing moments.

I love basketball and am a devoted aviation fan—planes are my favorite subjects to shoot!

I am a dog person and at home, I’m accompanied by my “cool” corgi, Lucky (杨来福儿), whose attitude is as sharp as it is adorable.

Feel free to connect — I'd love to hear from you.
