Bo Liu

Bo Liu is a Professor of Electronic Design Automation at the University of Glasgow, specializing in AI-driven electronic design. He holds a B.Eng. from Tsinghua University (2008) and a Ph.D. from KU Leuven (2012). Previously, he was a Humboldt Research Fellow (2012–2013), Lecturer at Wrexham Glyndŵr University (2013–2020), and promoted to Reader (Associate Professor) in 2016 before joining Glasgow in 2020.

• Research focuses on AI-driven methodologies for analog ICs, antennas, and microwave systems.
• Key contributions include pioneering AI-assisted optimization in RF design and first industrial-use AI tools for mm-wave ICs.

His work bridges machine learning and domain knowledge, addressing bottlenecks in electromagnetic simulations and antenna design complexity. He leads the AIDAC lab and collaborates with industry on EDA tools.

Scientific awards include Fellow of IET and Senior Member of IEEE. He serves as an associate editor for IEEE Transactions on CAD and Complex and Intelligent Systems.

Current research explores AI-driven design tools, including funded PhD projects on microwave filters, analog IC optimization, and 5G antennas.
