Jun Liu

Associate Professor

Dr. Liu is interested in micro/nano-scale thermal transport and hybrid organic/inorganic functional materials for energy storage, conversion, and management.

Dr. Liu’s graduate students are motivated to learn; they are familiar with both simulation and experiment work, and tend to solve multidisciplinary, challenging problems. His students have the opportunity to learn multidisciplinary topics in optics, electronics, thermal science, materials, and solid state physics.

Dr. Liu teaches Fluid Mechanics and Thermodynamics at the undergraduate level.

Outside of work, Dr. Liu enjoys travelling and reading.
