Yaling Liu graduated in Engineering Mechanics from Tsinghua University and earned his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees at Northwestern University. He is currently a Professor of Bioengineering and Mechanical Engineering & Mechanics at Lehigh University. Before joining the Lehigh faculty, Liu served as assistant professor of mechanical aerospace engineering at the University of Texas at Arlington and as senior engineer with Seagate Technology and is the recipient of the NSF Early CAREER Development Award as well as the Ralph E. Powe Junior Faculty Enhancement Award from Oak Ridge Associated Universities. Prof. 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/nanoscale 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.
