Prof. Zhongfan Liu graduated from Changchun Institute of Technology in 1983 and got his PhD in physical chemistry in University of Tokyo in 1990. After postdoctoral study in University of Tokyo and Institute for Molecular Science (IMS), he joined the College of Chemistry at Peking University in 1993 as associate professor and promoted to full professor in the same year. He became the Changjiang Scholar in 1999 and a member of Chinese Academy of Sciences (中国科学院院士) in 2011. 

  Currently, he is the director of Institute of Physical Chemistry, the director of Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology at Peking University. Prof. Liu serves as the editorial or advisory board members of several journals, including Adv. Mater., Small, Chemistry_ An Asian J., Nano Research, NPG Asia Mater., J. Photochemistry and Photobiology C. Photochemistry Review, etc. His research interest is the sp2 nanocarbon materials including single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) and graphene targeting next-generation electronic devices. His work covers the controlled CVD growth, chemical modification for band structure engineering, and device fabrication techniques of SWNTs and graphene. He has published over 340 peer-reviewed papers in Nature, Nature Mater., Nature Comm., Nature Chem., JACS, etc. The main academic awards he received include Ariyama Kanetaka Memorial Prize (1992), Outstanding Young Scientist Award (Hong Kong Qiushi Foundation, 1997), Chinese Analysis and Instruments Association (CAIA) 1st level award (2005), Chinese University`s Science and Technology Awards-Natural Science 1st level Award (MOE, 2007), National Award for Natural Science 2nd level Award (2008), and CCS-AkzoNobel prize (2012), etc.
