Jeffrey Liu (劉瑋) is originally from Kaohsiung, Taiwan. He is a Ph. D candidate that majors in Chinese Buddhism. He received his B.A. in International Business from Yuan Ze University, and his M.A. in Buddhist Studies from Fo Guang University. He is now the graduate program coordinator for the Center for Buddhist Studies.

His current research project is to investigate how Hangzhou Buddhist culture is reimagined and reconstructed through a late Ming Buddhist monastic gazetteer titled the Wulin Fanzhi (武林梵志). To accomplish this goal, his research highlights how Buddhism interacted with the socio-cultural phenomenon, including culture, power, and geography, with interdisciplinary approaches that combine religious studies and digital humanities.
