Biographies
Professor Song Lin grew up in Tianjin, China. After earning his B.S. from Peking University in 2008, he pursued graduate studies at Harvard University working under the tutelage of Professor Eric Jacobsen. His doctoral research was focused on the development and mechanistic understanding of enantioselective reactions catalyzed by multifunctional hydrogen-bond donors. Motivated by the deep interest in catalysis cultivated by his graduate studies, Song then carried out postdoctoral studies with Professor Chris Chang at UC Berkeley. His postdoctoral research was focused on the design of molecularly tunable materials, such as covalent organic frameworks, as catalysts for electrochemical conversion of CO2 to value-added products. In the summer of 2016, Song moved to Ithaca to start his independent career. He was promoted to Associate Professor with tenure in July 2021 and then to Full Professor in January 2023. In the summer of 2026, Song joined Stanford University as Professor of Chemistry.
Dr Hamish Stephen completed his PhD in inorganic and process chemistry at the University of Leeds as part of the Willans group, looking at the ‘Electrochemical synthesis of metal complexes in batch and flow’. In 2022 he joined AstraZeneca as a postdoc in Route Design and Electrochemistry, developing a workflow for the design and optimisation of organic electrochemical reactions. Since becoming a senior scientist in electrochemistry at AstraZeneca he has looked at opportunities for electrochemistry during the route design of molecules and worked with the continuous team and external companies to understand how electrochemical reactions can be scaled up. In his spare time, Hamish enjoys climbing, cycling and fell running.
