Congratulations to Dr. Liu on winning the prestigious Regents Distinguished Research Award for 2020.

Upon arriving at OSU in 2009, Dr. Liu began building a world-class ultracold quantum gases laboratory studying Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs), one of the five states of matter. Her research group at OSU has achieved the first sodium BEC in Oklahoma, implemented a highly programmable quantum simulator using sodium BECs in optical lattices, and investigated novel applications of ultracold atoms in quantum information science.
