Biography
Yaling Liu conducts interdisciplinary research in micro/nanoengineering for biology and medicine. In particular, he focuses on using combined experimental and computational fluid/solid mechanics approaches to characterize the interfacial phenomena at the micro/nano scale and in biological systems. Current efforts in his lab focus on emerging applications in nanomedicine, biosensing, and micro/nanofabrication. These involve multiscale modeling, biofluid mechanics, image-based simulation, MEMS fabrication, microfluidic chip testing, nanoparticle adhesion dynamics, and cell manipulation. Prior to joining the Lehigh faculty, Liu served as assistant professor of mechanical aerospace engineering at the University of Texas at Arllington, and as senior engineer with Seagate Technology, and is recipient of the NSF Early CAREER Development Award as well as the Ralph E. Powe Junior Faculty Enhancement Award from Oak Ridge Associated Universities. He has pursued research through fellowships with Northwestern University and the NSF Summer Institute on Nanoscale Mechanics.
