Yue Liu

Yue Liu is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of California, Los Angeles. Her research focuses on understanding the fundamental mechanical principles underlying the fate, form, and function of biological systems, with an aim of addressing interdisciplinary challenges in human health and physiology. The Life Logic Laboratory (L3) seeks to decipher the mechanical, physical, and biological driving forces responsible for the fates, forms, and functions of organisms. Her work includes investigating morphogenesis and organogenesis using stem cell engineering, microfluidics, and quantitative models, as well as developing biomedical technologies for drug delivery and modulating biomechanical functionalities of human organs. She holds a Ph.D. in Solid Mechanics from Brown University (2020) and was awarded the Presidential Fellowship at Brown University.

Yue Liu is an Assistant Professor at the University of California, Los Angeles, specializing in Medical Technology, Bioengineering, and Mechanical Engineering. Their research focuses on developing innovative biomedical solutions through interdisciplinary approaches, including the design of viscoelastic adhesive patches for myocardial infarction, microfluidic models for neural tube and somitogenesis development, and graphene-based barriers for mosquito bite prevention. Liu's work also explores the biomechanics of biological materials, such as limpet teeth and epicardial structures, to advance tissue engineering and nanomedicine. Their research bridges engineering principles with biological systems to address complex medical challenges.
