Laura Na Liu (born 1979) is a Chinese physicist focused on researching nano-optics of three-dimensional meta materials as it applies to biology and chemistry.
[1][2] After receiving her undergraduate and master's degree in China, she has had many global opportunities for education and research including Germany and the United States of America.
As a young woman, Liu completed her studies in Beijing and Hong Kong before she moved to Germany and earned a doctorate degree in physics at University of Stuttgart in 2009.
The following year, Liu joined the Max-Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems and led the "Small Nanoplasmonics" research group.
A few of her most cited articles as of 2020[update] tracked by Web of Science are:[8] By incorporating chemistry and biology into nano-photonics, Liu has advanced the multidisciplinary collaboration and research within this field.
