Jia Liu PhD 

Professor, Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology (SIAT), Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shenzhen, China 

Adjunct Professor, Department of Medicine and Therapeutics, the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, China 

Dr. Jia Liu received his PhD degree in Biomedical Engineering at University of Southampton, Southampton, UK, in 2006. He then joined SIAT and has been a Professor since 2015. His current research interests are: 1) Modeling and analysis of physiological signals from humans and 2) Development of medical instruments and software for the measurement of hemodynamics. In particular, his study has been focusing on cerebral hemodynamics, though other general cardiovascular related topics, e.g. non-invasive continuous blood pressure measurement, estimation individualized aortic blood pressure, and ECG signal processing are also interested.  

He has authored a number of peer-reviewed journal articles, e.g. Journal of Neurology Neurosurgery & Psychiatry, Stroke, Journal of Cerebral Blood Flow & Metabolism, Physiological Measurement (Select Article of the Year 2005), Medical Engineering & Physics, CNS Neuroscience & Therapeutics and etc. Within the last 5 years, these studies have also successfully attracted research grants funded by Chinese governmental research foundations and industry or co-funded by the UK research council and Hong Kong research commission. He serves as a reviewer of a number of biomedical engineering journals, e.g. Journal of the Neurological Sciences, IEEE journal of Biomedical and Health Informatics, Biomedical Signal Processing and Control, Computers & Electrical Engineering, and etc. He also served as session chairs for a number of international conferences, e.g. IEEE ICIT 2014, IEEE ICIA 2013, and IEEE ICIST 2007. 

In order to promote translational outcomes, close external collaborations with the leading research hospitals, institutes / universities, and industry (specialized in Neurological medical instruments) have been established and maintained. These efforts have resulted in recent on-going collaborative publications, grants, intellectual properties, and prototypes of systems / software.
