Career

Liu received his BS Degree from Peking University in 2007 and PhD degree from Columbia University, New York, in 2012 under the direction of Shou-Wu Zhang. He was a C.L.E. Moore Instructor at MIT from 2012 to 2015 and an assistant professor at Northwestern University from 2015 to 2018 before being appointed an associate professor at Yale University.[1][2]

Liu has made important contributions to arithmetic geometry and number theory. His contributions span a wide spectrum of topics such as arithmetic theta lifts and derivatives of L-functions, the Gan–Gross–Prasad conjecture and its arithmetic counterpart, the Beilinson–Bloch–Kato conjecture, the geometric Langlands program, the p-adic Waldspurger theorem, and the study of étale cohomology on Artin stacks.[1]

Awards

He received a Sloan Research Fellowship in 2017.[1]

He was awarded the 2018 SASTRA Ramanujan Prize for his contributions to the field of mathematics. He shared the prize with Jack Thorne.[3][2]

gollark: Possibly useful implications for farming and construction if they can expand the definition of tree enough.
gollark: Can they cut down all trees with herrings, or just the mightiest ones?
gollark: In space, nobody can hear you complain about bad aerodynamics.
gollark: *Technically*, you can, if you remove it from the head and disassemble it first.
gollark: If there was a *simple* way to make us heal better, it probably would be prevalent in people already. Or not work (in pre-technological humans) because of (now less significant) nutritional constraints or something, actually.
