Dr. Liu was born in Anhui, China. He obtained the B.S. degree from Anhui Normal University (AHNU) in 2001. After that, he continued his research experience in both Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry (SIOC), CAS and AHNU under the jointly supervision of Prof. Dr. Shizheng Zhu and Prof. Dr. Shaowu Wang and obtained his Master degree in 2004. After a one year’s stint in Prof. Gang Zhao’s laboratory in SIOC, he joined Prof. Dr. Chi-Ming Che’s group in The University of Hong Kong and earned his Ph.D. degree in 2010. His Ph.D. research focused on organic catalysis and organometallic chemistry. He continued postdoctoral study in Prof. Che’s group in the University of Hong Kong and in Prof. Dr. Carlos F. Barbas III’s group in The Scripps Research Institute. At the end of 2012, he began his independent academic career in Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech). Dr. Liu’s research interest is asymmetric radical reactions. Dr. Liu was promoted to tenured Full Professor of SUSTech at the beginning of 2018 and Chair Professor at 2022.
