Introduction

Kang Naixin received her Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry from the University of Bordeaux, France, under the supervision of Professor Didier Astruc, a member of the French Academy of Sciences. Her doctoral research was conducted at the Institut des Sciences Moléculaires de Bordeaux (ISM, CNRS). Her primary research interests focus on the synthesis and functionalization of dendrimers, as well as their applications in hydrogen production and hydrogenation catalysis. In terms of research funding, she has successively led two projects at Hubei University of Technology, one General Project of the China Postdoctoral Science Foundation, and one Overseas Expert Project of Hubei Province. She has published over 8 papers as first/corresponding author in peer-reviewed SCI journals.
