Liu Xing'e, professor and doctoral supervisor, serves as Director of the Research Institute of Bamboo and Rattan Biomass New Materials of the International Centre for Bamboo and Rattan (ICBR).

In 2005, she graduated from the Wood Science and Technology program at the Research Institute of Wood Industry, Chinese Academy of Forestry, with a Doctor of Engineering degree. In 2006, she conducted postdoctoral research at the Research Institute of Forestry, Chinese Academy of Forestry, and began working at the International Centre for Bamboo and Rattan in October 2007 upon completing her postdoctoral fellowship. In August 2013, she conducted a six-month academic visit to the USDA Forest Products Laboratory in the United States, where she engaged in research on advanced biomass carbon materials. Currently, she serves as Director of the Research Institute of Bamboo and Rattan Biomass New Materials at the International Centre for Bamboo and Rattan. Her research primarily focuses on the structure and properties of bamboo and rattan materials, as well as biomass-based carbon materials derived from bamboo, rattan, and other sources.  

She has led nearly 10 national and provincial-level projects and initiatives, including topics under the "13th Five-Year Plan" Key R&D Program and projects under the "14th Five-Year Plan" Key R&D Program. She has published over 50 academic papers and contributed to the compilation of 4 monographs, such as Rattan in China (in Chinese and English) and Bamboo and Rattan in the World. Her achievements include 1 Second Prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award, 1 First Prize and 1 Second Prize of the Liang Xi Forestry Science and Technology Award, and 1 Mao Yisheng Wood Science and Technology Award. She has also been selected as a candidate for the "Hundred, Thousand, and Ten Thousand Talent Project" of the National Forestry and Grassland Administration.
