Mr. Liu expressed his gratitude to Macau University of Science and Technology for its training and his great pride in contributing to the Winter Olympics during his doctoral studies. Since pursuing his Ph.D. in Design at Macau University of Science and Technology, his research topics have focused on the study of the basic visual language of the Olympic Games, exploring the boundaries of visual design, including Olympic history, emblem design, mascot design, color and auxiliary graphic design. In the Graduation Design Exhibition of the Faculty of Humanities and Arts held in March 2021, his graduation design work "The Logic of Visual Form Language Generation - Research on Visual Design for the Winter Olympics" won the "Excellence Award" for the 2021 M.U.S.T. Graduation Design Work. As the chief executive of the mascot design of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, under the repeated revisions of the design team and the suggestions of the experts of the Winter Olympic Organizing Committee, the work finally selected a distinctive ice shell coat and the panda elements with the highest recognition from international friends, and created the top mascot ice pier.
