Yuzhe Liu’s research is dedicated to the biomechanics of traumatic brain impacts (concussion), multimodal characterization of neural injury, and the development of advanced monitoring and protective technologies for the brain. Concussion is characterized by its insidious and latent nature, frequently resulting in delayed or missed diagnoses and, in some cases, progression to chronic traumatic brain injury. Despite its prevalence, the underlying mechanisms remain incompletely understood. Dr. Liu employs integrative approaches that combine mechanics, artificial intelligence, and neuroimaging to investigate the pathophysiological mechanisms of concussion and to develop wearable devices for early warning and injury prevention.
Dr. Liu received his training under Professor Xinming Qiu at Tsinghua University and Professor Tongxi Yu at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, where he focused on biomimetics and impact protection. He subsequently completed postdoctoral training in the laboratories of Professor David B. Camarillo and Professor Gerald G. Grant at Stanford University, specializing in traumatic brain injury research. He is currently a tenure-track Professor in the School of Biological Science and Medical Engineering at Beihang University.
