Ying Liu

I am a graduate student pursuing Ph.D. degree in Mechanical Engineering, Carnegie Mellon University. My interest falls in synthetic nanosystems.

Current Projects

I'm currently working on the dense decoration of DNA origami synthetic biosystem.

Previous Projects

My previous research projects included the following:

Van der Waals heterostructures of two-dimensional crystals.

I worked with Dr. Benjemin Hunt as a visiting researcher during the spring of 2016 in Physics Department, Carnegie Mellon University. My project involved in exfoliating monolayer samples and stalk heterostructures from them. I developed a repeatable process to obtain workable BrSiTe3 monolayer. I also built a feedback heater to cooperate with microscopes.

Build E-beam evaporators.

I worked with Dr. Xi Chen as an undergraduate researcher in the spring of 2015 in Physics Department, Tsinghua University, China. I optimize and build electron beam evaporators that can be used with Ultra High Vacuum (UHV) chamber.
