3. I am now looking for PhD students and postdoctoral fellow to work on the next-generation cellular technologies and Internet-of-Things (IoT). Interested applications can find more information here and drop me an e-mail at liang-eie-liu@polyu.edu.hk.

Biography

I am currently an assistant professor at the Department of Electronic and Information Engineering, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU). I received my B.Eng. degree from the School of Electronic and Information Engineering at Tianjin University in 2010, and Ph.D. degree from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at National University of Singapore (NUS) in 2014. I was a postdoctoral fellow at University of Toronto from 2015 to 2017, and a research fellow at NUS from 2017 to 2019.

I am the recipient of the IEEE Signal Processing Society Young Author Best Paper Award, 2017, and the best student paper award for International Conference on Wireless Communications and Signal Processing (WCSP), 2011. I am listed in the World’s Most Influential Scientific Minds, also known as a Highly Cited Researcher, by Clarivate Analytics (Thomson Reuters), in 2018.
