Lu Yu was born in Henan Province, China. She received her B.S. degree from Xiamen University in 2020 and her Ph.D. degree from Nankai University under the supervision of Prof. Xiao-Song Xue in 2026. In July 2026, she joined Prof. Mei-Xiang Wang’s group at Tsinghua University as a postdoctoral researcher. Her research interests lie in theoretical and computational organic chemistry, particularly in using computational approaches to elucidate the physicochemical properties and structure–property relationships of macrocyclic compounds, predict their properties, and investigate the mechanisms of organic reactions.
