Liu's research emphasizes potential functions and accounting methods for algorithm analysis, with a strong interest in non-determinism as a theoretical framework. Her work spans both fundamental algorithm design and applied problems in smart grids and energy-aware scheduling systems.
Recent publications highlight advancements in scheduling with untrusted predictions, amortized recourse for online graph problems, and combinatorial optimization in smart grid models. These works have appeared at prestigious venues like SOFSEM, MFCS, WAOA, and journals including Theory of Computing Systems and Algorithmica.
She supervises graduate students including:
- Bob Krekelberg
- Rick van de Bovenkamp
- Xiao-Ou Zhang
- Jonathan Toole-Charignon
Liu has delivered invited speeches at institutions such as NYCU School of Law, University of Liverpool, and Academia Sinica, covering topics like AI-assisted decision making, online algorithms with predictions, and optimization under uncertainty.
