Ying Kai Loh is originally from Singapore and is an A*STAR scholar. His research on multiply bonded main group systems was awarded the Gold medal in the Undergraduate Awards (2015). During his DPhil studies in the Aldridge group, he further explored hitherto unknown main group species derived from N-heterocyclic imine (NHI) and N-heterocyclic boryloxy (NHBO) systems, including crystalline organic superelectrophiles, heavy dioxycarbenes and an acid-free oxoborane as the first lighter main group carbonyl analogue. His current research interest lies in the development of unique main group systems based on lighter p-block elements.
