9月26日，美国亚利桑那州立大学物理系的Prof. Jingyue (Jimmy) Liu前来实验室进行学术交流与访问，并为师生们作“Nanoscale Architectures for Sustainable Energy”的学术报告。
　　Dr. Jingyue (Jimmy) Liu is currently a professor in the Department of Physics and Senior Scholar in the Global Institute of Sustainability at Arizona State University. Prof. Liu received his bachelor's degree in metal physics in 1982 from the University of Science and Technology Beijing, Beijing, China, and his doctorate degree (under the guidance of Professor John M. Cowley) in 1990 in condensed matter physics from Arizona State University (ASU). After two years as a Postdoctoral Associate, Prof. Liu became a research scientist, funded by the Shell Development Company, in the Center for Solid State Science of ASU. Young Scientist Award (13th ICEM 1994) and Presidential Award (12th ICEM 1990). In October 2011, Prof. Liu joined ASU as a Professor of Physics. In 2012, Prof. Liu was elected as a Fellow of the Microscopy Society of America. In addition to developing advanced electron microscopy techniques, Prof. Liu's research group currently focuses on developing nanoscale architectures for applications in energy, catalysis and sensing. Prof. Liu has been serving on many advisory committees and heavily involved in professional societies and regional economic development initiatives.
