Louise Liu Named to 2026 Top 10 Outstanding Chinese American Youth

Hill Research CEO Dr. Louise Liu has been named one of the 2026 Top 10 Outstanding Chinese American Youth by the American Chinese Youth Federation (AACYF), honored in the Technology and Academia category.

About the Award

The 2026 Outstanding Chinese American Youth Awards — now in their 19th annual edition — recognize exceptional young Chinese American leaders across technology, business, culture, and public service. The 2026 theme is “Defining the Future,” emphasizing honorees who reshape technological paradigms and social structures rather than merely participating in global competition.

As the announcement puts it:

“From ‘breaking through’ to ‘defining,’ this new generation of Chinese American youth is increasingly evolving from participants in global competition into architects of future rules and standards.”

Recognition for Hill Research

The AACYF citation highlights Dr. Liu’s work building an AI-powered clinical data platform — Hill Research’s TriClick™ — that compresses statistical programming and FDA submission processes traditionally requiring months into approximately 90 minutes.

2026 Honorees

The 2026 cohort spans technology, academia, business, public service, and the arts. Dr. Liu joins fellow honorees in technology and academia including researchers and founders building across AI, healthcare, finance, and computational science.

  • Boston Business Journal’s 2025 40 Under 40
  • Witherspoon Gala 2025 International Business Leader Award
  • 2026 Innovate100 (Life Sciences, New Jersey)
