Yu Liu is a postdoctoral scholar working on quantum state control and precision spectroscopy of single trapped molecular ions. Before joining the Ion Storage family, he completed his thesis "Bimolecular chemistry at sub-microkelvin temperatures" at Harvard University under the supervision of Prof. Kang-Kuen Ni. Beginning in 2024, he is starting as an assistant professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Maryland, College Park, where he'll continue to pursue research in the dynamics and spectroscopy of ultracold molecules.
