Donghui Wei was born in 1983 in Henan, China. He graduated from Zhengzhou University (2006) and received his Ph.D. (2012) from Zhengzhou University. During the Ph.D., he studied as a visting scholar (2010-2012) with Professor Chang-Guo Zhan as advisor in University of Kentucky, America. Subsequently, he became a Lecturer in 2013 and an Associate Professor of Zhengzhou University in 2017, and he was a Professor of of Zhengzhou University in 2022. He perfomed a series of theroretical stuides on the mechanisms of enzyme reactions (such as the reacitons between proteasome and different peptides), organocatalystic reactions (such as N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalyzed reactions), and transition metals (such as Rh, Co) catalyzed C-H activation reactions.
