Jieping Zhu (祝介平; born 1965 in
Xiaoshan,
Hangzhou,
China) is an organic chemist specializing in natural product total synthesis and
organometallics. He is a professor of chemistry at
EPFL (École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne) and the head of the Laboratory of Synthesis and Natural Products.[1]
Since 2010, he has been full professor of chemistry at
EPFL's School of Basic Sciences of EPFL.
Research
Zhu’s research focuses on the development of new synthetic methods including multicomponent reactions,[5][6][7] catalytic enantioselective transformations,[8][9][10] and transition metal catalyzed domino processes.[11][12][13] He is also immersed in the total synthesis of complex natural products and bioactive molecules.[14][15][16][17]
Distinctions
Zhu is the recipient of among others the 2016 Natural Product Chemistry Award from the
Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) Natural Product Chemistry Award,[18] the 2010 Division of Organic Chemistry (Prix SCF-DCO) award from the
Société chimique de France (French Chemical Society),[19] the 2009
Chang Jiang Scholars (Qinghua University) awarded by the Chinese Ministry of Education, the 2009 Silver Medal of
CNRS,[20] the 2008 Novartis Chemistry Lectureship, the 2004 Liebig Lectureship of the German Chemical Society,[21] and the 2003 Prix “Emile Jungfleisch” of
French Academy of Science.[22]
