Wenchao Xia joined Guanglu Lab as an undergraduate student in materials chemistry. With interest in chemistry and related topics, he carried out research practice in organic synthesis and the molecular design of functional host-guest systems. In June 2023, the group held a farewell for Yuanchen and Wenchao as they graduated.

His earlier profile preserved that first moment in the group: Wenchao joined the lab out of interest in chemistry and related topics, and his training focused on organic synthesis and molecular design of functional host-guest systems.
