C. Chan, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University Awards: 2003 National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars; 2005 State Natural Science Award (Second Class, ranked second) Current research interests: Asymmetric catalysis; supramolecular catalysis; dendrimer catalysts; recyclable catalysts; organogels Hobbies: Mountain hiking; cooking; table tennis My favorite food is chopped hot pepper. The downside of my job is having too little time with my family. My favorite saying is “One is never too old to learn” (Chinese proverb). When I′m frustrated, I go hiking in the mountains. The most important thing I learned from my parents is diligence and persistence. If I could have dinner with three famous scientists from history, they would be Einstein, Darwin, and Galileo. My favorite place on earth is Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, located in the northwest of Hunan Province, China. I chose chemistry as a career because I was enrolled in the Department of Chemistry in 1985 by Xiangtan University. If I were not a scientist, I would be an agriculturalist. My biggest motivation is to discover new molecules with unique functions. I can never resist tasty spicy food.
