The biggest challenge facing scientists is how to convert experimental compounds into practical products. The most exciting thing about my research is to grow perfect crystals with fascinating molecular structures. I advise my students to think carefully before experimenting. A turning point in my current project was the discovery of aluminum molecular rings. My long-term goal is to change the world with nano-sized clusters. The most challenging part of my job is to establish a structure–properties relationship. I'm always in a good mood when I'm told that others are interested in our project. To improve my work–life balance, I enjoy swimming and running. A good day at work starts with three miles of running. If I had one year of paid leave I would go to an island. My favorite thing about my lab group is to design new clusters, see the unseen. My favorite place on earth is the University of Cambridge because it is the closest place to heaven. My favorite drink is clear water. My favorite song is Moon River by Audrey Hepburn. Behind the Science References 1Since my current project on aluminum molecular rings, I've wondered if I could build porous materials based on these Lego-like rings. In this Angewandte paper, we demonstrate a new way towards aluminum-based porous materials. The project did not go well especially during the COVID-19, but with team members’ cooperation and two years’ constant persistence, the idea eventually became reality.
