Curriculum Vitae
Ieng Chim (Steven) Wan was born in Macau on 25th of June, 1991. He started his
university in De Anza College (Cupertino, CA, USA) as a Pre-Pharmacy student, but switching to majoring in Chemistry after transferring to UC Berkeley (CA, USA) and acquiring his Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry. While in UC Berkeley, he performed a short computational study with Prof. Andrew Streitwiesser. After returning to Macau for a year working as a tutor in a private tutoring center, he went on with his study in the University of Groningen (Netherlands) and joined the Minnaard group in 2013 as a Master student working on chiral secondary phosphine oxide ligands. After a short computation project in the Free University of Amsterdam under the supervision of Prof. Matthias Bickelhaupt, he acquired his Master degree in Chemistry in the University of Groningen in 2015 and rejoined the Minnaard group in the same year for his PhD. He gave oral presentations on part of his research at the Netherlands’ Catalysis and Chemistry Conference (NCCC) and European Symposium of Organic Chemistry (ESOC) in 2017, then at Chemistry as Innovating Science (CHAINS) in 2018. He also had the opportunity to present a poster in 2017 at European Symposium of Organic Reactivity (ESOR) and Beilstein Organic Chemistry Symposium in 2018.
