Biography

Dr. Ling Liu is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Temple University from Fall 2019. Prior to joining Temple, he was an Assistant Professor (2012-2018) and Associate Professor (2018-2019) in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Utah State University. He received PhD in Mechanics and Materials from Columbia University in 2010, and BS and MS in Engineering Mechanics from Dalian University of Technology, China.

Dr. Liu's current research focuses on the multiscale modeling and simulation of advanced materials for improved physical understanding and accelerated design. Examples include nanostructured materials for applications in energy storage and phase separation, novel nano/bio-materials with extraordinary mechanical and thermal properties, and advanced engineering composites for prolonged services in extreme environments. His research has been sponsored by NSF, DOE/NE, DOD and industry, leading to over 50 peer-refereed journal publications.

Dr. Liu received the NSF CAREER award in 2018. He was the chair of two Technical Committees of ASME including the Multifunctional Materials Technical Committee, and the Nanomaterials for Biology and Medicine Technical Committee.
