Chang Liu received his M.S. and Ph.D. degree from the California Institute of Technology in 1991 and 1995, respectively. His Ph.D. thesis was titled "Micromachined sensors and actuators for fluid mechanics applications". In January 1996, he joined the Microelectronics Laboratory of the University of Illinois as a postdoctoral researcher. In January 1997, he became an Illinois assistant professor with major appointment in the Electrical and Computer Engineering department and minor appointment in the Mechanical and Industrial Engineering Department. In 2003, he was promoted to Associate Professor with tenure. In 2007, he became a full professor with major appointment in Mechanical Engineering department in Northwestern University. He holds joint appointment in Electrical Engineering department. He also serves as the director of the Northwestern University cleanroom – NuFab.
His research interests cover bioinspired sensors, sensor application in medicine, MEMS, polymer MEMS, and biological science. He has 19 years of research experience in the MEMS area and has published over 200 technical papers (80+ journal papers). He is the author of a widely used MEMS textbook “Foundations of MEMS”, which has been used world-wide and translated into foreign languages. Prof. Liu received the NSF CAREER award in 1998. His work is funded by NSF, NIH, the US Department of Defense, and various companies (including Baxter). He served as an Associate Editor of the IEEE Sensors Journal. He is now an editor of the IEEE/Journal of MEMS. He teaches undergraduate and graduate courses covering the areas of MEMS, solid state electronics, and heat transfer. Prof. Liu was elected to IEEE Fellow in 2010. His work has been cited in popular media many times. Dr. Liu is a member of technical advisor board of NanoInk Corporation. He has consulted for several major MEMS companies. In 2002, he has been elected to the "Inventor Wall of Fame" by the Office of Technology Management of the University of Illinois. He founded Integrated Micro Devices (IMD) Corporation.
