Dr. Leo Liu is a tenure-track Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering. He is also affiliated with the FSU Research Computing Center and the FSU Institute for Successful Longevity. He co-chairs the Biorheology Scientific and Standardization Committee (SSC) at the International Society on Thrombosis and Hemostasis (ISTH). Occasionally, he serves as the RPTH Recap moderator for thrombosis and AI talks!
He directs the Group for Living Fluids (GoLF) to unravel the physics of heart attacks and strokes, harnessing the power of supercomputing and AI.
The Liu Lab is always looking for highly self-motivated PhD and Postdocs to join the team to pursue interdisciplinary research. Students and/or researchers of interest are encouraged to contact Dr. Liu via email.
