Associate Research Scientist
Dr. Liu is an affiliated research assistant professor in the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School. Dr. Liu received a prestigious Switzer Research Award for mobility research in cerebral palsy from National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research in 2019. Her current research interests include investigating the effects of biofeedback training in improving pediatric mobility and designing rehabilitation training paradigms for aging motor function research.
