Clouthier, University of Kentucky 2005–2007 Postdoc with Prof. Elliot R. Bernstein, Colorado State University Awards: 2009 Young ScientistAward, Chinese Chemical Society; 2013 National Natural Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars Current research interests: Cluster chemistry; bond activation; ion–molecule reactions; mass spectrometry; photoelectron spectroscopy Hobbies: Hiking; reading The natural talent I would like to be gifted with is a strong mind that never stops thinking. My motto is “failure is the mother of success”. The greatest scientific advance of the last decades was artificial intelligence. When I was eighteen I wanted to be a scientist. I am waiting for the day when someone will discover alien life. The biggest challenge facing scientists is the opinion that scientists can solve all our problems. The most significant historic event of the past 100 years was the establishment of the People's Republic of China. If I could be anyone for a day, I would be an astronaut. My first experiment was to burn a piece of paper. My favorite way to spend a holiday is to go fishing. My favorite painter is Xu Beihong. My favorite composer is Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. My favorite book is Tao Te Ching. My 5 top papers: 1“Activation of Multiple C−H Bonds Promoted by Gold in AuNbO3+Clusters”: X.-N. Wu, X.-N. Li, X.-L. Ding, S.-G. He, Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2013, 52, 2444; Angew. Chem. 2013, 125, 2504. (Cationic gold stores electrons and drives bond activation.) 2“Reactivity of Atomic Oxygen Radical Anions Bound to Titania and Zirconia Nanoparticles in the Gas Phase: Low-Temperature Oxidation of Carbon Monoxide”: J.-B.
