SUMMARY: OVERVIEW

Dr. Jingbo Louise Liu received her Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering from the

University of Science and Technology Beijing in 2001. She was promoted to a tenured Full

Professor at Texas A&M University-Kingsville (TAMUK) due to her outstanding creativity and

productivity for nanostructured materials preparation, characterization, and understanding of

fundamental physical and chemical properties of nanoparticles, nanofilms and nanotubes, as well

as applications of engineered nanomaterials in alternative energy and biological science. She

established highest power density to advance performance of proton exchange membrane fuel

cells and directed a new paradigm to apply metal-organic frameworks in the disinfection science.

Dr. Liu has authored and co-authored textbooks (2), books (3) and book chapters (14) and over

60 peer reviewed journal articles. She chaired and organized international conferences and

reviewed dozens of journal articles and NSF proposals. She has been hosting and co-hosting

three visiting scholars to conduct leading-edge research on biomedicine, hydrogen fuel cell and

nanotechnology. During 10-year services in TAMUK, she taught about 5,000 students; trained

more than 130 undergraduate students (90 % are Hispanic), 31 master (17 graduated) students to

conduct leading edge research. She served as NSF panelist and Chaired the proposal review

panel. She also served as Journal Editor and reviewed hundreds of peer-reviewed journal papers.

Currently, Dr. Liu is the DEBI faculty fellow at the US Air Force Research Laboratory and

user affiliate at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. She was awarded the “2012 to 2015

Annual foreign experts and talent from overseas project” supported by the State Administration

of Foreign Experts Affairs, P.R. China; Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS)

Invitation Fellow and worked at the Department of Materials Science, University of Tokyo

(2010-2011). She has served as a “Faculty and Student Team” fellow, collectively funded by the

National Science Foundation and US Department of Energy, Office of Science and worked at the

Argonne National Laboratory (2009). She also received Faculty Fellowship Summer Institute in

Israel (2008) and outstanding research and teaching awards at the university level. She directed

and participated in the projects (>15) supported by the NSF (USA, CHINA), NSERC

(CANADA), American Chemical Society Petroleum Research Funds (PRF), R. Welch

Foundation (departmental grants since 2006), Department of Education, industrial and TAMUK

as PI, Co-PI and senior personnel. She also received dozens of travel funds to attend QEM

Workshops; NIH Faculty Grant Writing Workshop; Higher Education Consortium Workshop,

Universities Space Research Association; and COACh (NSF women advancement) workshops.

SUMMARY: DELIVERABLES

1) She gained experience with 1) managing a medium-size plastics company, 2) running a

female-owned consultancy business, or 3) a female research/educator on tenure-track
