Dong Luo was born in Hubei, China. He received his BEng degree from Hubei Minzu University in 2012 and MSc degree in Chemistry from Shantou University in 2015 under the supervision of Prof. Xiao-Ping Zhou and Prof. Dan Li. After three years of working as a research assistant in Prof. Dan Li’s group, he started his doctoral research in the same group at Jinan University. In June 2021, he received his PhD degree and continued his postdoctoral research in Prof. Dan Li’s lab. His research interests are the design and synthesis of functional metal-organic materials using supramolecular coordination chemistry and reticular chemistry. From October 2022, he began to work as a visiting postdoctoral researcher in Prof. Nitschke’s group at the University of Cambridge, focusing on the synthesis of functional metal-organic cages. In his free time, he enjoys music, movies, and cooking.
