Dr. Liu is an Assistant Professor at Harvard Medical School. He is currently working at Athinoula A. Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging, Department of Radiology, Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School. His research focuses on medical image acquisition and reconstruction, image analysis and processing, and physiological modeling pertaining to magnetic resonance (MR), molecular, and optical imaging. His recent interest also includes the development of artificial intelligence methods for improving imaging speed and robustness and automating clinical imaging workflow. Before joining Harvard in 2020, Dr. Liu was an Assistant Scientist at Radiology, University of Wisconsin-Madison, from 2015 to 2019, working on translational imaging projects spanning several clinical topics. In 2015, he received his Ph.D. in Medical Physics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. His research focused on developing new MR pulse sequences and optimizing imaging biomarkers for improved musculoskeletal and neural tissue assessment. In 2011, he received his M.Sc. from Medical Biophysics, Western University, Canada, where his research focused on improving breast MR imaging using machine learning. In 2008, he received B.Sc. in Biomedical Engineering from Sun Yat-sen University, China.
