履行我的承诺，打个广告。

2008年暑假我参与UM-PKU/THU交换项目，在密歇根大学Anne J. McNeil教授课题组工作了两个月。Anne在康乃尔大学读的Ph.D，MIT的博士后。她是十足的学术牛人，在JOC、JACS、德国应用化学等杂志上上发表过多篇文章：本科2篇，博士生7篇，博士后2篇。2007年5月Anne成为密歇根大学的faculty，现在是Assistant Professor.课题组成立才1年半，2008年11月在JACS上发了一篇Communication,取得了开门红。一作是北大03级的一个师姐。

通俗地说Anne的主要研究领域是共轭高分子和凝胶两大块。共轭高分子是制造OLED(参阅百度百科)的材料。

目前组里面有一个印度博士后(Raja, my student mentor)，一个北大的师姐(Jing)，还有6个美国学生，不过Cheryl会说粤语。每个人都很好，很照顾。

个人认为选择Anne有以下优势：
1.课题组不大不小，既不至于被忽视又不至于担子太重。
2.有个中国人罩着。
3.1个美女教授+若干美女学生，hoho~~为表诚意，附上Anne的照片一张。

总之一句话，如果你要报名参加UM-PKU/THU交换项目并且通过初选的话，在选择课题组的时
候就选择Anne McNeil吧。

Interest in organic materials has grown exponentially in recent decades in both industry and academia. One key advantage organic materials have over their inorganic ounterparts is that chemists can utilize the expansive toolbox of organic synthesis to tailor the materials' physical and electronic properties at the molecular level. My research focuses on creating new functional organic materials and exploring the fundamental mechanisms involved in their synthesis, assembly, and operation. Members of my research group design and synthesize new organic/organometallic molecules and polymers for each targeted application. We gain insight into these systems by performing detailed mechanistic and structure-property studies using standard spectroscopic and characterization techniques. .

Functional Supramolecular Assemblies
Everything from biological macromolecules to small molecules obtained through organic synthesis can assemble into supramolecular species under certain conditions. Our group is interested in designing ways to trigger, control, and monitor the assembly process. We will exploit these supramolecular assemblies for chemical and biological sensing, catalysis, and the synthesis of shape-persistent materials.

Polymer Synthesis and Catalysis
Polymer synthesis lags behind conventional organic synthesis in both substrate scope and efficiency. In addition, many polymerization mechanisms are poorly understood. Our research goals are to design new living polymerization catalysts with enhanced reaction efficiencies and wider substrate scope, with a focus on environmentally derived polymers, conjugated polymers, and other commercially important polymers. Our approach relies on detailed mechanistic studies to achieve these goals.
