Yue Liu graduated from University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) in 2017 with a BS degree in Chemistry, publishing work on the conformation of trans-membrane protein with sum frequency generation vibrational spectroscopy. Yue joined Tureček lab in the autumn quarter of 2017. She focused on the exploration of electronic structures of nucleotide radicals under tandem mass spectroscopy and DFT calculations. She is currently working at Meta.
