Principal Investigator

Dr. Junzhi Liu, Assistant Professor
Dr. Junzhi Liu received his Bachelor’s degree in materials chemistry in 2008 and Master’s degree in materials science in 2011. Then he joined the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research in Prof. Klaus Müllen’s group for PhD thesis, where he obtained his PhD degree in synthetic chemistry in January 2016. In July 2015, he joined Prof. Xinliang Feng’s group as a postdoc in Technische Universität Dresden (TU Dresden). Since July 2017 he was a research group leader at the Chair for Molecular Functional Materials in TU Dresden. In August 2019, Dr. Liu started his group at the Department of Chemistry in The University of Hong Kong. His current scientific interests include bottom-up organic synthesis of topological carbon nanostructures and their applications for organic electronics. Dr. Liu has been awarded several prizes such as RGC Early Career Award (2020); International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) International Award for Young Chemists - Honorable Mention Award (2017); Chinese Government Award for Outstanding Self-financed Students Abroad (2015); “Marie-Curie” fellowship (2011-2014). Dr. Liu is an Early Career Advisory Board for Chemistry – An Asian Journal (2020-).
