Ph.D., 1958, Moscow Nonferrous Metal Institute
WORK EXPERIENCE
Dr. Xiaosong Liu is a full professor of Shanghai Institute of Microsystem and Information Technology, Chinese Academy of Science (SIMIT, CAS), and an adjunct professor of School of Materials, ShanghaiTech University. He got B.S. degree in Astrophysics from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) in 1998, and Ph.D. degree in Condensed Matter Physics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison (WI, USA) in 2009 under the supervision of Prof. Franz Himpsel. From 2003 to 2007, he worked at the Synchrotron Radiation Center (SRC) in Wisconsin, USA to explore the electronic structure and bonding of bio-functionalized surfaces. In 2007, he was awarded the ALS Doctoral Fellowship and started his research on novel biomimetic and nanomaterials for energy conversion at the Advanced Light Source in Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (ALS, LBNL). From 2009 to 2013, he got the ALS Postdoctoral Fellowship from LBNL and focused his research on the Li-ion battery materials by in-situ and operando spectroscopy and scattering techniques.
