I'm a soil microbial ecologist and biogeochemist interested in the stoichiometric theory and metabolic theory of ecology for microbes. I want to use elemental ratios and concept of stoichiometry to predict nutrient retention and biomass production from sub-cellular to ecosystem scales. I also want to apply metabolic theory of ecology using thermodynamics and the concept of energy to predict metabolic activity of microbial in different environmental settings. 

I'm currently a postdoc in the DeAngelis Lab. You can contact me by email (xj.allen.liu@gmail.com). For publications and collaborators, please check my CV, Google Scholar or ResearchGate.  Thanks for visiting!
