Yayuan Liu is an Assistant Professor and Russell Croft Faculty Scholar in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at Johns Hopkins University, with a secondary appointment in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering. Her research bridges chemical engineering, materials science, and electrochemistry to address energy and environmental sustainability challenges.
- Bachelor’s degree (2014) in Materials Science and Engineering from Nanyang Technological University (Lee Kuan Yew Gold Medal)
- PhD (2019) in Materials Science and Engineering from Stanford University (Stanford Graduate Fellowship)
- Postdoctoral training (2019–2021) at MIT’s Department of Chemical Engineering
Her research focuses on designing and synthesizing functional materials for:
- Electrochemically mediated carbon capture and CO2 utilization
- Molecularly precise electrochemical interfaces for water remediation and chemical separations
- Optical imaging platforms to characterize electrochemical processes
The 15 most recent publications highlight trends in:
- Redox-active materials for carbon capture and CO2 conversion
- High-throughput platforms for electrochemical discovery
- Nanomaterials for lithium metal batteries and aqueous separations
Scientific awards:
- NSF CAREER Award
- Packard Fellowship
- Beckman Young Investigator Award
- MIT Technology Review Innovator Under 35
Her group develops modular electrochemical systems with applications in renewable energy storage, sustainable chemical production, and environmental remediation. Funding includes NSF grants, and she leads the Liu Research Group at Johns Hopkins, which employs advanced characterization tools and AI-driven experimentation.
