Biography
BS Central South University, China 1995 MS Central South University, China 1998 PhD Brown University 2005 Professor Liang experimentally studies the physics and interface science at nanometer scales and creates devices with improved performance. Her team responds to the challenging interdisciplinary nature of their research endeavor through successful collaboration with colleagues with expertise in metrology, physics, bioscience, medical science, chemistry, and chemical engineering. Her educational effort is focused on contributing to the creation of a well-structured nanoscience and nanotechnology curriculum at WPI. She has created two new courses with technical focuses on nanomaterials (ME4875/MTE575/MTE594) and nanobiotechnology (ME/CHE 230x) for seniors/graduate students and sophomores, respectively. She enjoys fruitful research experience with our capable graduate and undergraduate students.
