Liu’s postdoctoral adviser, Professor Marye Anne Fox, is a recipient of the National Medal of Science, the highest honor bestowed by the U.S. government on scientists, engineers, and inventors.

Liu earned her J.D. with honors from the University of Akron School of Law. She also holds master’s degrees in organic chemistry from West Virginia University and Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and a bachelor’s degree in chemistry from Nankai University.
