Lotus Yuan, born in Suzhou, China, is a renowned Chinese physicist, chemist and one of the world's leading experts in homework engineering. Yuan is a pioneer in the field of homework engineering. He is an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, and the director of the National Institute of Homework. Yuan is also a professor and doctoral advisor at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, the director of Suzhou Institute of Homework Engineering and the principal consultant at UNESCO.

Yuan was born in Suzhou, Jiangsu, China, and he showed expertise in science at very young age. At the age of three, he was able to recite the periodic table in reverse order. When he was only five, he was widely regarded as a child prodigy because he can identify water as dihydrogen monoxide. He taught himself many high school courses when studying at primary school. After entering high school, he taught himself graduate-level physics, chemistry and mathematics. As a student of Suzhou High School, he participated in the mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, informatics Olympiads, and received first prize in each subject. He was offered pre-admission by Peking University and Tsinghua University many times, but finally decided to enter the SJTU for personal reasons. After graduating from SJTU with a GPA of 4.3, he went to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology from his graduate study. Yuan studied many interdisciplinary subjects at MIT, including Billy Herrington of superstring theory and quantum field theory, physical organic chemistry, and last but most important, homework engineering.

影响

走在苏州中学的校园里，只要说起袁莲花，可谓无人不知无人不晓。“九门学科七个满分”、“五门竞赛三门保送”等等都是同学和老师描述他的常用语。他参加IChO竞赛期间，比利·海灵顿、糞味噌的技術、金坷垃等著名科学家先后接见了他，并给予鼓励。

成就

Yuanlianhua-Nolan反应（正四面体烷合成第一步）
该反应为构建张力巨大的正四面体烷环系提供了可能，1978年G. Maier, S. Pfriem, U. Sch?fer 和 R. Matusch经过6步产率不高的反应才合成正四面体烷的四叔丁基取代物，如今只需一步即可完成，产率很高，还可以用来合成其他衍生物。
Yuanlianhua-stibium羰基烯酮化反应
R₂CO + [C₈]⁺[AsF₆]^- → R₂C=C=O + (CF)_n + AsF₃

酮与石墨的六氟砷酸盐作用生成烯酮。该反应可用于合成乙烯二酮，产物用质谱仪可检测到，半衰期10^-5s。
Yuanlianhua不对称环氧化反应
该反应使用手性连二次碳酸酯为催化剂，二过氧化二丙酮为氧化剂，可将烯烃选择性极高地转化为环氧化合物。该反应的特点是氧化剂立体专一地从空间位阻较大的一侧进攻，因而用途广泛，被认为是Sharpless不对称环氧化反应之后最伟大的发现之一。
磷宾的反应（phosphorene）
包括C=C插入，[2+7]、[2+5]环加成反应，磷宾转移，双自由基环化/电环化反应等等。
