Study

Prof. Liu received his bachelor’s degree in 2008 from Xi’an Jiaotong University, China. In 2013, he received his Ph.D. from Tsinghua University, China, under the supervision of Prof. Xi Zhang. He then worked as a postdoctoral researcher in the laboratory of Prof. E. W. (Bert) Meijer at the Eindhoven University of Technology, Netherlands. In 2018, he started his independent research career at the South China University of Technology as a principal investigator.

Prof. Liu’s research focuses on understanding the fundamentals of noncovalent synthesis and exploring the applications of supramolecular polymers. Specifically, his laboratory investigates three key research areas:
(1)Exploring the supramolecular chemistry of cyclopropenium and its derivatives.
(2)Noncovalent-covalent synergistic synthesis of dye-based supramolecular polymers.
(3)Engineering living biological systems with supramolecular polymer chemistry.
