About Yuxiang

Yuxiang Liu is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, with courtesy appointments in Physics, Biomedical Engineering, and Robotics Engineering. He earned his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Maryland, College Park, in 2011, an M.S. from the University of Science and Technology of China in 2005, and a B.S. from the same institution in 2002. Joining Worcester Polytechnic Institute in 2013, Liu directs the WPI Optomechanics Lab, where his research delves into light-matter interactions at the microscale and nanoscale. His primary research interests encompass optical trapping, optofluidics, nanophotonics, cavity optomechanics, and fiber optic sensing systems, with a focus on optical actuation, damping, and sensing of mechanics in micro-/nano-scale structures and biological specimens. Applications of his work include on-chip disease diagnosis, in vivo disease treatments, motion detection in consumer electronics, health monitoring, and biomechanics.
