Assistant Research Professor
Dr. Wenyan Liu is an Assistant Research Professor in the Chemistry Department at Missouri S&T. He joined Missouri S&T in 2016 as an analytical research scientist in the Center for Research in Energy and Environment, where he worked for three years.
Dr. Liu received his Ph.D. from the Chemistry Department of New York University (NYU) in 2012, specializing in Structural DNA Nanotechnology. After receiving his Ph.D., he joined Center for Functional Nanomaterials of Brookhaven National Laboratory as a postdoctoral research scientist. His research focused on programmable self-assembly of soft matters with tailored properties for potential applications in optics, energy, and biosensing.
Dr. Liu has developed the first DNA origami two-dimensional (2D) array, a milestone in DNA nanotechnology area, and realized diamond-shaped nanoparticle superlattices addressing an outstanding and decades-long challenge in colloidal science. Having the background knowledge in multidisciplinary area, Dr. Liu's research interests are exploring the potential applications of those techniques in areas of analytical, environmental, and material science fields.
Dr. Liu’s areas of expertise include Analytical instrument (HPLC, GC-ECD/FID, GC-MS, LC-MS/MS, IC, ICP-MS, ICP-OES, GFAA, TOC, DLS); State-of-the-art Microscopy (AFM, SEM, TEM, Cryo-EM, Fluorescence microscopy); Nanoparticle synthesis, characterization, and analysis.
