Professor Kaijun Yuan was born in 1981 in Hubei, China. He received his bachelor's degree of Chemical Physics in 2003 at University of Science and Technology of China (USTC). He received his doctorate of Physical Chemistry in 2009 from State Key Laboratory of Molecular Reaction Dynamics at Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics (DICP). Subsequently he became an assistant professor at DICP. In 2010，he went to Rice University as a visiting scholar. He was promoted to associate professor in 2011 and became a full professor in 2017.
His research involves in photodissociation of small molecules in the VUV region by using high resolution Rydberg tagging TOF technique, and Chemical reactions in condensed phases by using femtosecond 2D IR spectroscopy.
