Chong Liu did her Ph.D. at Stanford Materials Science and Engineering during 2009-2015 and her postdoc in the Physics Department at Stanford University from 2015-2018. She joined the Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering in 2018 as a Neubauer Family Assistant Professor. She is named a Sloan Research Fellow and a Camille Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar. She is a recipient of the DOE Early Career Award and MIT TR35 Award. She is currently the Thrust Leader of the AMEWS EFRC Center. Liu Group's research focuses on designing and synthesizing materials and developing electrochemical and optical tools to address the challenges in water and energy. Her group studies phenomena that span enormous length scales from molecular interaction to mass transport, aiming to understand and correlate the materials' microscopic properties to macroscopic performance.
