Hui Liu

Hui Liu is an Associate Professor in the Department of Marine Biology at Texas A&M University at Galveston. His research focuses on zooplankton processes, fish population dynamics, and quantitative fisheries research, with expertise in statistical and numerical ecosystem modeling. He holds a Ph.D. in Oceanography from the University of Alaska Fairbanks (2006), an M.S. in Statistics (2008) and M.S. in Marine Biology (1995) from the University of Alaska Fairbanks and Ocean University of China, respectively, and a B.S. in Fisheries from Ocean University of China (1992).

Dr. Liu has taught courses like Fisheries Population Dynamics and Advanced Environmental Data Analysis. His research explores topics such as larval recruitment dynamics of oysters, CO2 flux variability in estuaries, and the effects of monsoon-driven currents on copepods. He has secured grants totaling over $350,000, including NSF-funded studies on zooplankton post-Hurricane Harvey and NOAA projects on fisheries modeling.

He serves as an Associate Editor for the Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences and represents the U.S. in PICES' zooplankton production workgroup. His lab focuses on understanding marine ecosystems' responses to environmental changes, with active collaborations in the Gulf of Mexico, South China Sea, and Arabian Gulf.

Dr. Liu advises graduate students Zhixuan Song (Ph.D.) and Bailey Lin (M.S.). His work bridges ecological modeling, fisheries management, and climate change impacts, contributing to sustainable resource policies and coastal resilience strategies.
