Homepage of Yumeng Liao

Welcome to my personal website!

My name is Yumeng Liao and I’m currently a Postdoc Researcher of Prof. Jose Roque’s group at Princeton University. I’m interested in organic synthesis and organometallic chemistry.

I obtained my PhD from the University of Tokyo under the supervision of Prof. Kyoko Nozaki in 2025. My research focused on the development of homegeneous nickel catalyst for the selective degradation of thermosetting resins.

Before joining the Nozaki group, I conducted my undergraduate research with Prof. Takanori Matsuda at Toyko University of Science, and my master research with Prof. Nobuharu Iwasawa at Tokyo Institute of Technology, where I was working on rhodium and ruthenium catalysis for C–H activation.
