She was also the youngest candidate involved in China’s Recruitment Program for Young Professionals when she was 26 in 2015. This program called for overseas strategic scientists or leading talents who can make breakthroughs in key technologies or can help develop China’s high-tech industries and newly-rising disciplines back to China.
Liu is qualified owing to her excellent research outcomes on perovskite solar cells. During her doctor period in University of Oxford, she published an article as the first author on Nature, one of the world’s top academic journals, and has been cited more than 3,000 times.
She has organized her research group after she was employed as a professor by UESTC in 2015.

She said she would do her best to cultivate talents and help develop the discipline of the school.
Liu was born and grew up in Chongqing in Southwest China. She said the reason why she gave up her job in the United Kingdom and decided to teach in UESTC is that UESTC is located in Chengdu in Sichuan Province, near her hometown Chongqing.
