Dr Jingbang Liu
JingBang Liu is a postdoctoral researcher in the AUTORHYTHM project at the University of Oslo, working within the Mechanics research group in the Department of Mathematics. His current research focuses on developing multiscale models of cell membrane bending to better understand the biophysical processes behind autophagy. This involves combining mathematical modelling with molecular dynamics simulations, and closely integrating theoretical predictions with experimental data provided by collaborators across disciplines.
Prior to his current role, JingBang completed his PhD at the University of Warwick through the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Modelling of Heterogeneous Systems (HetSys). His doctoral research focused on nanoscale fluid dynamics, using fluctuating hydrodynamics and rare event theory to model and predict the rupture behavior of ultra-thin liquid films. His work combined numerical simulation with theoretical approaches to understand fluid behavior at the nanoscale.
He holds an MSc in Mathematical Modelling and Scientific Computing from the University of Oxford, where he studied climate dynamics, focusing on the impact of global warming on the El Niño–Southern Oscillation. His undergraduate education included a joint BSc in Mathematics from the University of Manchester and Shandong University through a 2+2 program.
JingBang is deeply committed to interdisciplinary research and values collaboration across domains, believing that real-world impact arises when theoretical models are rigorously tested against experimental reality.
