Liv completed her Ph.D. in physical chemistry in 2025 at Yale University. Although much of her work there was in cryogenic ion spectroscopy, mass spectrometry was the backbone of her experiments. Her background in mass spec brought her to the MagLab ICR group, and she now works on molecular characterization of bio-oils and other complex mixtures. In her free time, she loves spending time with her friends, knitting, and going on walks on trails around Tallahassee.
