A native of China, Liu was educated in China, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States, and earned a Master of Architecture degree from Tulane University School of Architecture. As a partner of SO-IL, which Liu cofounded in 2008 with Florian Idenbury, she helped the London-based Frieze Art Fair design its acclaimed structure for the inaugural New York fair; curated the cross-disciplinary event series Stillspotting for the Guggenheim Museum; researched and re-envisioned museum education spaces with the MoMA Education Department and installed the experimental, interactive structure Pole Dance at PS1. Liu has worked with prominent private and public clients on building their work spaces.

Liu helped establish Tulane Regional Urban Design Center (TRUDC) and worked on its inaugural projects for new town planning in Yangtze Delta, China, the location of her hometown, Nanjing. With her positions Columbia University's Graduate School of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation, Syracuse University and The Oslo School of Architecture and Design, Liu has led students in delving into issues such as the preservation of the zono colonial in Santo Domingo, the first gridded city implemented in the Americas, and resilience design in post-Hurricane Sandy New York.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
