Early life and education
Liu studied computer science at Peking University earning a Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.). She moved to Tsinghua University for her graduate studies, earning a Master of Engineering (M.Eng.) in computer science in 1988. Liu was a graduate student at Cornell University, where she earned a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in 1996.[3][4]
Research and career
As a postdoctoral researcher, Liu worked on language processing at Cornell University. Liu joined Indiana University in 1996 as an assistant professor. She moved to Stony Brook University in 2000, where she was made professor in 2008. Liu was awarded the State University of New York Chancellor's Award for Excellence in 2010.[4]
Liu leads the Design and Analysis Research Laboratory at Stony Brook University.[4] She works on programming languages, algorithms, and distributed systems.[2][5]
She is a member of the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) IFIP Working Group 2.1 on Algorithmic Languages and Calculi,[6] which specified, supports, and maintains the languages ALGOL 60 and ALGOL 68.[7]
