Yang Yang was born in Guangxi, China, in 1988. He spent 9 years in Xiamen University (China) from 2007-2016 to get his Bachelor and PhD degrees in chemistry under the supervision of Prof. Quan-Ming Wang. He became a lecturer and led a small research team in Jiangsu Normal University (China) from the summer of 2016. In December of 2019, he was promoted to associate professor. His researches mainly focused on syntheses and properties of coin-metal clusters and coordination cage complexes. In the summer of 2019, he joined the group of Prof. Jonathan R. Nitschke at the University of Cambridge as a postdoctoral researcher supported by Jiangsu Provincial Department of Education and research funding of J. R. Nitschke.
