• Fluorine Chemistry for a master’s degree. The lab is well-known for its longstanding research on reactions of fluorine-containing molecules. Professor Chi left as a visiting scholar at the University of Fribourg, Switzerland shortly after I joined the group and I was actually advised by Professor Yong-Da

• synthesis experiments that involved the use of all standard organic synthesis techniques. This was a challenge to many students, but all received systematic training in organic synthesis upon completion of the experiments. In 1988, I entered Professor Ching-Sung Chi’s group in the Laboratory of Organic
