Beatriu de Pinós Grant | Yingzi Li

Expanding mechanochemistry through computationally-driven mechanistic understanding

Grant description

The Beatriu de Pinós programme (posdocBP) focuses on the attraction of post-doctoral research talent. The programme, funded by the Direcció General de Recerca de la Generalitat de Catalunya (General Directorate for Research in the Government of Catalonia) and managed by AGAUR, was launched in 2005.

The goal of the calls in the Beatriu de Pinós programme is to provide individual funding support for the recruitment and incorporation of post-doctoral researchers in the Catalan system of science and technology. Researchers are allowed to freely choose their own research project in any field. Candidate selection is performed through an independent, transparent and competitive evaluation process.

The posdocBP programme is aimed at the professional development of research staff in three areas: leadership, independence and consolidation. Besides, it promotes international mobility, multidisciplinary and intersectoral collaboration, and fosters supplementary training of researchers in transversal skills.

   

Dr. Yingzi Li obtained her Ph.D. with Prof. Yu Lan in the Department of Chemistry at Chongqing University, China in 2018. She joined Prof. K. N. Houk group as a visiting student at the University of California, Los Angeles from 2016-2018. She worked with Prof. Robert Paton as a Post-Doctoral Fellow in the Department of Chemistry at Colorado State University from 2019 to 2022. She joined Prof. Maseras’ group in April 2023 and is carrying out computational studies on different mechanochemistry reactions involved in organocatalysis and transition metal catalysis.
