Chiung-ju "CJ" Liu's research focuses on healthy aging, particularly on factors that enhance older adults’ functional ability—the capacity to be and do what they value. Functional ability is crucial for aging in place.

Toward this effort, Liu has conducted research in health literacy promotion, late-life disability prevention, and systematic reviews of interventions that support independence in activities of daily living for older adults.

She studied the relationship between cognitive aging and health literacy. She examined the use of text cohesion, illustrations, and stereoscopic videos to reduce the cognitive load required to process health information in older adults.
