معرفی
Cong Liu is an Associate Professor of Computer Science at The University of Texas at Dallas (UT Dallas), affiliated with the Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science. He joined UT Dallas in 2012 as an Assistant Professor and was promoted to his current rank. His research focuses on real-time and embedded systems, cyber-physical systems, and energy-efficient heterogeneous computing. Liu earned his Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (2013), M.S. from Auburn University (2007), and B.E. from Wuhan University of Technology (2005).
His research interests include real-time operating systems, cluster/cloud computing, and autonomous systems. He received the NSF CAREER Award in 2017 to develop algorithmic solutions for real-time data processing in autonomous vehicles and robotics. His work emphasizes GPU-accelerated embedded systems that enable autonomous decision-making in resource-constrained environments. Liu has held roles such as TPC member for IEEE RTAS and reviewer for multiple journals/conferences, including IEEE Transactions on Computers and Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing.
His publications address critical challenges in real-time scheduling, heterogeneous computing, and energy efficiency. He leads research on data-induced challenges in embedded systems, aiming to make autonomous driving systems predictable and controllable. Liu’s contributions bridge theoretical foundations with practical implementations in automotive and robotics domains.
