Research Interest
Research of Liao’s group has been focused on discovering new photochemical processes, designing and synthesizing molecules and polymers based on these photochemical processes, and demonstrating their potentials in material, biomedical and catalytic applications. In addition, we also conduct research on electric and optic materials. Our group closely works with material engineers, biochemists and physical chemists to make our research fruitful.
