Xin Liang

Dr. Xin Liang is an Assistant Professor in Computer Science at the University of Kentucky's College of Engineering, located in the Hardymon Building. His research develops scalable solutions for scientific data challenges.

Core research themes:

• Error-bounded lossy compression for exascale simulations
• GPU-accelerated data refactoring and reduction
• Topology-preserving scientific data management
• Heterogeneous computing for numerical algorithms

Recent publications (2023-2025) demonstrate leadership in lossy compression research, particularly through the development of frameworks like MGARD and SZ3 that preserve topological features and quantities-of-interest. Work emphasizes performance portability across GPU architectures.
