• 2024–Present: Professor, SUSTech
• 2015–2024: Associate Professor, SUSTech
• 2014–2015: Assistant Professor, SUSTech
• 2011–2014: Postdoctoral Research Associate, Princeton University

• PhD in Condensed Matter Physics, Iowa State University (2006–2011)
• BS in Physics, Sun Yat-sen University (2003–2006)
• Early studies in Urban Planning, Sun Yat-sen University (2001–2003)

Dr. Liu’s research focuses on quantum materials, particularly:

• Spin splitting in antiferromagnets for ultrafast spintronics
• Gapless topological surface states in magnetic topological insulators
• Electronic structure of thermoelectric materials like SnSe
• Advanced material growth techniques (flux, CVT, MBE)

His recent publications highlight discoveries in unconventional antiferromagnetism (e.g., CrSb, MnTe2) and topological systems (e.g., MnBi2Te4, SrIn2P2), with high-impact studies in Nature, Advanced Science, and Physical Review X. These works emphasize spin textures, Dirac semimetals, and thermoelectric efficiency.

Scientific recognition includes:

• Peacock Plan Award, Shenzhen (2014)
• 2017 Young Teacher Teaching Competition Second Prize, SUSTech
• 2018 Excellent Teaching Award, SUSTech
