After a fun and productive six months in San Diego, Tianhua (Josh) Tang, finished his internship and now returns to Nankai University in Tianjin, China, to write his undergraduate thesis before graduating this spring. After earning his Bachelor’s degree, Josh will return to the US pursue his Ph.D. in organic chemistry (location TBD). During his time in the Engle lab, Josh worked under the mentorship of Mingyu and made significant contributions to the development of new catalytic alkyne functionalization methods. Outside of the lab, he enjoyed learning about American culture from his many friends in the lab and sampling the myriad restaurants in San Diego, including the various Chinese restaurants in Kearny Mesa.
