Hui Liu is Professor of Sociology at Purdue University and Co-Director of the Center for Aging Families (CAF). She also serves as the Director of the Center on Aging and the Life Course at Purdue University. Dr. Liu is a family demographer whose research is guided by the aging and life course perspective to examine how marriage and family processes are related to population health. For nearly two decades, she has been dedicated to developing, testing, and advancing scientific knowledge of how marriage and family dynamics both influence and are influenced by health and well-being across the life course. Her work places particular emphasis on vulnerable populations, including older adults and same-sex couples. Her research on marriage and health has been supported by multiple NIH grants, including a K01 and an R01. Dr. Liu’s research closely aligns with CAF’s themes on aging family health and health disparities in family aging. She co-leads CAF’s Development Core and is a Mentor for CAF’s Emerging Scholars program.
