Dr. Han-Chin Liu received his Ph. D. degree at Iowa State University specialised in Curriculum and Instructional Technology. With years of teaching experience as a middle school science teacher, he is interested in using computer animations and simulations to promote conceptual change in science learning. Multiple forms of  representations of information is now commonly used in today's classrooms to achieve student learning. Dr. Liu's recent research focuses on the cognitive processes of multimodal information in multimedia learning, especially in science learning.
