Fang Liu

Fang Liu is an Assistant Professor of Chemistry at Stanford University, affiliated with the Department of CHEM. Her research focuses on Materials Chemistry and Physical Chemistry, specifically the light-induced dynamics of solid low-dimensional materials and the construction of low-dimensional artificial structures. Prior to joining Stanford, she was a DOE Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) postdoctoral fellow at Columbia University, where her work involved femtosecond extreme UV spectroscopy of 2D materials. She also worked under Prof. Marsha I Lester at the University of Pennsylvania, where she studied spectroscopy and photochemistry of Criegee intermediates. Liu received her B.S. in Chemistry from Peking University and her Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of Pennsylvania.

Fang Liu is a researcher at Stanford University specializing in spectroscopy and 2D materials. Their work explores the synthesis, characterization, and application of two-dimensional materials, including van der Waals crystals and transition metal dichalcogenides. Liu's research focuses on understanding the optical and electronic properties of these materials through advanced spectroscopic techniques. They have investigated phenomena such as exciton behavior, band-gap renormalization, and mechanical exfoliation methods for large-area 2D materials. Additionally, Liu has contributed to studies on Criegee intermediates, UV spectroscopy, and their role in unimolecular reactions. Their research also includes the development of novel optical devices and the exploration of quantum phenomena in 2D systems.
