My research has been highlighted in MRS Bulletin, Chemistry & Industry as well as in the international press, e.g. In the Vietnamese press plus 57 media outlets across China with estimated views of 16.2M. Results have been disseminated worldwide though keynote/plenary and invited lectures, workshops (in Russia, China, Japan, Philippines etc.), and other scientific meetings. The following are selected examples from over 100 talks
2013: Keynote lecture at 28th Philippine Chemistry Conference, Dumaguete, Philippines. Title: ‘From Polyethylene Catalysis to anti-Cancer agents’.
2015: Invited lecture, Pacifichem, Honolulu, Hawaii. Title ‘New developments in polymerization catalysis’.
2018: Plenary lecture at Medical Imaging Alliance Siberia and UK, Novosibirsk. Title ‘New metal-based imaging agents for PET’.
2024: Qiushi International Lecture at the Institute of Zhejiang University-Quzhou. Title ‘Using the coordination chemistry toolbox to tackle societal issues’.

The 20+ PhD students and 10+ PDRAs coming out of my group are employed in sectors including teaching, publishing, and industry. Seven have established their own academic careers, e.g. Xiaoming Liu (Dean of Biological & Chemical Sciences, Jiaxing University), Shu-Zhong Zhan (South China University of Technology), Tian Xing (Northwest Institute for Non-Ferrous Metal Research), Orlando Santoro (Università degli Studi dell'Insubria), Yahya Al-Khafaji (University of Babylon) and Abdullah Alshamrani (Taibah University).
