My chemical research in organic chemistry, polymer chemistry and materials chemistry started from my graduate days first at Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Dalian and then at the Institute of Chemistry of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing, China. The research extended from my postdoctoral fellowship first at Northwestern University in Evanston and then at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in Urbana to 10 years of membrane research activities at UOP.<br/>In this talk, I will describe some of these chemical research activities such as the design of advanced materials for water purification and the development of new membranes for gas separations. I will also talk about some challenges accompanied by two life miracles that occurred in my young chemical life.
