He is currently a master’s student at the Basic Chemistry Program, Graduate School of Advanced Science and Engineering, Hiroshima University, under the supervision of Professor Manabu Abe. His current research focuses on SOMO-HOMO conversion in triplet carbenes.

Zhe Wang received his bachelor’s degree (B.Eng.) from the China University of Petroleum (East China) in 2017. He then joined the research group of Professor Manabu Abe at Hiroshima University. He received his master’s degree (M.Sc.) from the Hiroshima University in 2019 under the supervision of Professor Dr Manabu Abe. He is currently a Ph.D. student at Hiroshima University. His research focuses on the kinetic stabilisation of singlet 2,2-dimethoxycyclopentane-1,3-diyl diradicals.

Manabu Abe was born in Osaka, Japan. He received his Ph.D. in 1995 from the Kyoto Institute of Technology (KIT) with Professor Akira Oku. In 1995, Manabu became a faculty staff member at Osaka University (HANDAI, Professor Masatomo Nojima’s group). From 1997 to 1998, he was an Alexander-von-Humboldt fellow with Professor Dr Waldemar Adam at the Universität Würzburg in Germany. Manabu was also a visiting researcher at the LMU München (Professor Dr Herbert Mayr) in 2007. He moved to Hiroshima and became a full-time professor of Organic Chemistry at the Department of Chemistry, Graduate School of Science, Hiroshima University (HIRODAI) in 2007. His research focuses on reactive intermediates chemistry, especially on diradicals, organic photochemistry, and unusual molecules.
