Prof. Liu received the Ph.D. degree in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Systems from Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv, Israel, in December 2012. From February 2013 to February 2015 he was a postdoctoral researcher at the ACCESS Linnaeus Centre, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden. From March 2015 to August 2015 he held Researcher, Visiting, and Research Associate positions at, respectively, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden, CNRS, Laboratory for Analysis and Architecture of Systems, Toulouse, France, and The University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong. From June 2018 to July 2018, he was a Visiting Scholar with INRIA, Lille, France. Since September 2015 he is an Associate Professor at the School of Automation, Beijing Institute of Technology, China. His research interests include networked control, time-delay systems and security control. He has published more than 60 articles in scientific journals and conferences. Currently he serves as Associate Editor in IMA Journal of Mathematical Control and Information, Journal of Beijing Institute of Technology.
