Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolYujia Liu is a fourth-year PhD candidate in Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics at the University of Chicago who blends hands-on bench work with computational modeling to study cyanobacterial circadian rhythms. Trained in computational biology at Cambridge and experienced across molecular dynamics, stochastic simulation, and bioinformatics, Yujia investigates how circadian oscillators behave when driven off their limit cycles by growth or temperature changes. Their work combines experiments, phase-plane analysis, and Gillespie simulations to probe how cells interpret distorted temporal information. With a strong quantitative background from top institutions and a decade of research experience, they move fluidly between code and wet lab assays. Colleagues know them for keeping “biology weird” while pursuing mechanistic clarity at the interface of theory and experiment.
