Jiawen Liu

Jiawen obtained his bachelor's degree in 2015 from the Beijing Institute of Technology, China, majoring in electrical and electronic engineering. He then pursued a Master's degree in 2017 at the University of Lyon, France, where he discovered his passion for optics and photonics. Following that, he completed his PhD degree at Sorbonne University in 2020, Paris, focusing on the photo-physical properties of nanoscale single-photo emitters, as well as assembled nanostructures. Afterwards, Jiawen joined Carlo Sirtori's group at école Normale Supérieure in Paris as a postdoctoral researcher, where he developed optomechanical resonators for both fundamental studies and applications in THz and MIR frequency ranges. Jiawen loves to travel with his family and friends during holidays and to go hiking on weekends. He also excels at making sushi and Chinese dishes.
