KINGSVILLE (February 17, 2023) — Dr. Jingbo Louise Liu, chemistry professor at Texas A&M University-Kingsville, was recently honored for contributing to science, technology and education, by being named a Fellow of the American Chemical Society (ACS). A Fellow of any professional organization is the highest level of distinction a scientific society can bestow on its members.

 

In the past, Liu has served in leadership roles in the ACS including program chair, division chair, counselor and career consultant. She also received this recognition because of her contributions to sustainable energy by inventing new formulations of proton exchange membrane fuel cells, eliminating 20 million metric tons of carbon emissions per annum.

 

She also has been devoted to empowering young scientists and engineers. During the pandemic, Liu established a series of virtual talks allowing faculty, engineers, students and other professionals with diverse backgrounds to showcase their research discoveries and share their insights.

 

In addition to the ACS Fellow, Liu also was honored by the Linnean Society of London, which elected her a Fellow due to innovative activities to advocate sustainable energy and environmental protection. Other Fellows of the Linnean Society include Sir David Attenborough, Emeritus Emperor Akihito of Japan, King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden and the current King of England, King Charles III.
