 - '@type': TextObject
   abstract: Dr. Liu applies human-computer interaction (HCI) and computer-supported
     cooperative work (CSCW) techniques to the fields of crisis informatics and earth
     science. She investigates the social and behavioral uses of information and
     communication technology (ICT) around disasters to inform the design of future
     crowdsourcing projects, citizen science, and civic hacking efforts that improve
     government services. She also explores the opportunities and challenges with
     integrating data from the general public and how data science is enabling the
     communication of information and science online in more interactive ways. Dr.
     Liu was also awarded a National Science Foundation (NSF) Graduate Research Fellowship
     in 2006. Her doctorate research at the University of Colorado at Boulder focused
     on the use of social media pertaining to historically significant crises and
     the emergence of socially distributed curation as a way of managing crisis information
     in the social media landscape. She has given numerous invited talks on the emerging
     use of social technology for emergency management and the rise of open innovation
     through crowdsourcing and citizen science. As an innovation specialist and user
     experience researcher, Dr. Liu investigates the Socio-cultural, Technological,
     Organizational, and Policy (STOP) interfaces that need to be redesigned to improve
     government services.
