Albert Liu is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Michigan, where he focuses on the interface of materials design, chemical catalysis, and electronic device fabrication. His innovative research explores the development of colloidal electronic systems, advancing device capabilities of individual colloidal particles and constructing higher-order assemblies of hierarchical materials. Liu's prior work has established carbon nanotubes and graphene as key components in creating novel electronic 'cells' that can perform autonomous functions, integrating energy harvesting, chemical detection, and memory recording. His mission is to design materials that afford the long-range order necessary for advanced electronic applications similar to natural biological scaffolds. Liu's laboratory seeks to replicate the complex functionalities observed in biological systems through the creation of 'tissue'-like electronic matter. He has received several awards for his accomplishments in academia, including being recognized as a Rising Star by the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society.
