Chang Liu received his M.S. and Ph.D. degree from Caltech 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 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 and Electrical Engineering department in Northwestern University.
His research interests cover micro sensors, microfluidic lab-on-a-chip systems, and applications of MEMS for nanotechnology. He has 13 years of research experience in the MEMS area and has published 100 technical papers. Prof. Liu received the NSF CAREER award in 1998 and is currently an Associate Editor of the IEEE Sensors Journal. He teaches undergraduate and graduate courses covering the areas of MEMS, solid state electronics, and heat transfer. He won a campus "Incomplete list of teachers ranked as excellent" honor in 2001. Prof. Liu is currently a senior member of the IEEE. His work has been cited in popular media many times. Dr. Liu is a co-founder and 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.
