Jonathan Liu received degrees in mechanical engineering at Princeton (B.S.E., 1999) and Stanford (M.S., 2000 & Ph.D., 2005). He was a postdoctoral fellow in the department of electrical engineering (Ginzton Labs) and the Molecular Imaging Program at Stanford (2005-2009), and was later appointed as an instructor within the Stanford University School of Medicine (2009-2010). Jonathan is currently an associate professor in the mechanical engineering department at the University of Washington in Seattle, with an adjunct appointment in the department of pathology. Previously, he was an assistant professor in the biomedical engineering department at the State University of New York (SUNY) at Stony Brook. He received an award as the top graduate in mechanical engineering at Princeton, an NSF graduate research fellowship, a Canary Foundation / American Cancer Society postdoctoral fellowship, and a K99/R00 career-development award from the NIH. His laboratory for molecular biophotonics develops optical strategies for improving the diagnosis, grading, and treatment of diseases. https://www.me.washington.edu/people/faculty/jonathan_liu
