Biographie:
Dr. Liu was secretary/treasurer of the same section (2010-2011). Part of their leadership role was to invite elite speakers from top universities to come to the south Texas region to give technical presentations.

In 2012-2013, both Drs. Bashir and Liu co-organized a symposium on behalf of the National ACS Conference (COLLOIDAL division) in Indianapolis, IN, related to colloidal based bottom-up synthesis in nanofabrication related to environmental and energy aspects. At that conference, Dr. Liu separately co-organized energy talks on behalf of the ACS ENERGY division.

In March 2014, both Drs. Bashir and Liu co-organized an ACS symposium (COLLOIDAL division) in Dallas, TX, related to environmental cleanup using nano-engineered systems.
