Research Interests:

Professor Liu is interested in revealing the formation mechanism and health impacts of atmospheric aerosol to explore health-oriented control strategies for air pollution, developing precise source apportionment methods for tropospheric ozone to disclose the causes of ozone pollution, disclosing the feedback mechanism between particulate matter and ozone pollution, and developing high-efficiency adsorption, catalytic oxidation, and resource-conversion materials for volatile organic compounds and carbon dioxide to explore synergistic control of pollution and carbon emissions.

He is the project investigator for over 20 projects funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China and the Ministry of Science and Technology of China etc. He has published more than 190 research articles in journals such as Nat. Geosci., Nat. Commun., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA., Environ. Int., Environ. Sci. Technol., Atmos. Chem. Phys., and J. Catal.,etc. His publications have been cited over 5,600 times in Web of Science, with an H-index of 39. He has received the Capital Environmental Protection Award and serves as a Youth Editorial Board Member for Chinese Chemical Letters and a member of the Atmospheric Environment Branch of the Chinese Society for Environmental Sciences.
