Born in Hong Kong, Edmund graduated with MChem (First Class Honors) at University of Oxford in 2016 and obtained his PhD in Chemistry at Northwestern University in 2022. During graduate school, he discovered his passion for mentoring students and his love for supramolecular chemistry. His thesis research with Prof. Chad Mirkin spanned two areas: the synthesis of stimuli-responsive metal complexes and the development of molecule-DNA conjugates as a new type of bonding element in nanoparticle assemblies. To gain expertise in polymer chemistry, he then did a postdoc with Prof. Jeremiah Johnson at MIT. There, Edmund developed a method for storing DNA and DNA-based data in degradable polymer network. 

After starting as a tenure-track Assistant Professor of Organic Chemistry at Pepperdine University in Fall 2024, Edmund is moving to Point Loma Nazarene University as a tenure-track Assistant Professor of Chemistry in Fall 2025. In addition to teaching organic chemistry, he leads an undergraduate-centric lab that develops nucleic acid-inspired polymers. 

Outside of work, Edmund loves spending time with his wife and his daughters, playing board games, and is an amateur photographer.
