He currently serves as Editor-in-Chief of ACS Nano.
Xiaogang Liu, Ph.D.
Singapore University of Technology and Design
Dr. Xiaogang Liu is an Assistant Professor at the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD). He obtained his Ph.D. degree from the University of Cambridge in 2014. He began his independent research with Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART) as a SMART Scholar (2014—2017). After joining SUTD in 2017, he led the Fluorescence Research Group to conduct research on the structure-property relationships of organic dyes, as well as develop high-performance fluorescent products for a wide range of applications. The fluorescence research group aims to contribute to the transformation of dye chemistry from trial-and-error to molecular engineering.
