Biography

Bo Liu received the B.Eng. degree from Tsinghua University, China, in 2008 and the Ph.D. degree from University of Leuven (KU Leuven), Belgium, in 2012. From October 2012 he held the distinguished position of Humboldt Research Fellow, working with the Technical University of Dortmund, Germany. From April 2013, he was a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) at Wrexham Glyndwr University, UK, where he was promoted to Reader (Associate Professor) in 2016. He joined in University of Glasgow in 2020 and is a Professor of electronic design automation since 2023. He is a Fellow of IET and a Senior Member of IEEE. He is an associate editor of IEEE Transactions on Computer-Aided Design of Integrated Circuits and Systems, and Complex and Intelligent Systems (Springer).

Dr. Liu’s research focuses on AI-driven electronic design. His main contributions and research highlights include:

Being among the first few researchers to introduce bespoke heuristic optimization techniques into analog IC sizing (2008-2009).
Being the first to introduce online machine learning-assisted optimization into high-frequency device synthesis (2011) and the first to enable it to address complex mm-wave ICs by novel AI algorithm frameworks (2014). Enable the AI-driven RF IC design to reach the level of industrial use (including one-button design of wideband mm-wave IC) for the first time (2024).
Being the first to enable analog IC sizing based on machine learning-assisted optimization approaches to address practical high-performance analog building blocks (considering the full set of “hard to learn” performances), surpassing experienced designers’ design quality in only a few hours (2021). This is a significant step forward in enabling AI-driven analog IC design to reach the level of industrial use.
Being the first to address the bottleneck of computationally expensive electromagnetic simulations together with poor or no initial design in antenna design exploration – this makes the AI-driven antenna design approach suitable for industrial requirements (2013-2014, 2017). The first to enable AI-driven design techniques to handle complex antennas with more than 50 design variables and many specifications (2020,2022), unblocked bottlenecks in important applications (e.g., AI-driven design of complex base station antennas).
Being the first to realize the fully automated AI-driven design of microwave filters. The one-button approach allows average-level engineers to obtain high-performance filter designs. (2017, 2020, 2022).
His proposed AI-driven analog IC, microwave antenna, filter, and MEMS design methods are being used as essential tools by many international leading design teams (in both academia and industry). Some of the proposed AI-driven design methods are the only viable solution for complex antennas/arrays and high-performance analog/RF ICs.
Some of his proposed AI-driven electronic design algorithms rank first in industry testing and comparisons, which have been embedded into MATLAB and are currently under discussion to be embedded into more renowned EDA tools.

Just as steam engines allowed mass production of labour-intensive products, AI techniques have the potential to realize mass production of knowledge and intelligence-intensive products. However, there is currently a gap between off-the-shelf AI techniques and real-world electronic design. Filling this gap, in order to transform AI techniques for electronic design from laboratory to industry, is the aim of my research. My research focuses on machine learning and data-driven optimization-based methodology for electronic circuit and system design, unblocking bottlenecks in design complexity and time-to-market. In particular, the following research directions are critical:

Novel data-driven optimization and machine learning algorithms for electronic (analog ICs and systems, microwave devices, and micro-electromechanical systems) design
Mixed intelligence electronic design methodologies hybridizing AI techniques, domain knowledge, and the designer's intelligence
AI-driven design in real-world electronic engineering
Computer-aided design tools implementing AI-driven electronic design and data analysis methods

More details of my research can be found on my Google Scholar page: https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=G-K3GC0AAAAJ&hl=en and the homepage of my lab (AIDAC): https://www.gla.ac.uk/research/az/csi/artificialintelligence/ and http://ec2-35-176-54-107.eu-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com/

Considering all this, I am now welcoming highly motivated PhD students, postdocs, and visiting researchers who have the ambition to change ways of working for future electronic engineers: from experience-driven design to AI-driven design!

Students/Researchers with the following backgrounds are extremely welcome:

AI background: You will be the core of the team. Instead of using mathematical benchmark problems, you will use real-world electronic design optimization/synthesis/modeling problems to identify the challenges of existing AI techniques and generate novel and high-performance AI algorithms ready for EE industry use.

EE background: For many design problems, the power of AI techniques alone is insufficient and design knowledge must be an equal partner to form a mixed intelligence approach. You will be the core of such novel techniques. You will also be armed with AI knowledge and realize them in real-world analog IC/biomedical system/antenna/filter/MEMS/… design, being the first generation of electronic design engineers to apply such AI techniques.

Software engineering background: The successful AI-driven design methodologies will be transferred to intelligent EDA tools. You will be the person to embed the new algorithms into renowned EDA tools, and millions of engineers will use your code. You will also develop our own EDA tools, which will be used by leading international design teams. Proposing novel human-computer interaction methods with electronic engineers will also be your playground.

So, let us launch the AI-driven electronic design research area together!

Interested students/researchers, please send me your CV along with a brief description of your background and research interest(s)/direction(s). For potential funding opportunities, please visit the supervision section.

Always welcome visiting scholars focusing on SOFTWARE ENGINEERING

Supervision

I have successfully supervised quite a few PhD students, obtaining high-quality research outcomes. I am leading the AI-driven design lab (8 PhD students and research assistants) now.

I am welcoming highly motivated PhD students, postdocs, and visiting researchers who have the ambition to change ways of working for future electronic engineers: from experience-driven design to AI-driven design!

Students/Researchers with the following backgrounds are extremely welcome:

AI background: You will be the core of the team. Instead of using mathematical benchmark problems, you will use real-world electronic design optimization/synthesis/modeling problems to identify the challenges of existing AI techniques and generate novel and high-performance AI algorithms ready for EE industry use.

EE background: For many design problems, the power of AI techniques alone is insufficient and design knowledge must be an equal partner to form a mixed intelligence approach. You will be the core of such novel techniques. You will also be armed with AI knowledge and realize them in real-world analog IC/biomedical system/antenna/filter/diplexer/MEMS/… design, being the first generation of electronic design engineers to apply such AI techniques.

Software engineering background: The successful AI-driven design methodologies will be transferred to intelligent CAD tools. You will be the person to embed the new algorithms into renowned CAD tools, and millions of engineers will use your code. You will also develop our own CAD tools, which will be used by leading international design teams. Proposing novel human-computer interaction methods with electronic engineers will also be your playground.

AI-driven electronic design is at its early stage, but it will be the future. So, let us launch the AI-driven electronic design research area together!

Always welcome visiting scholars focusing on SOFTWARE ENGINEERING

Teaching

My teaching interests locate in computer science education to engineering students, mainly including programming languages (e.g., C, MATLAB) and AI techniques. Different from traditional computer science education, my teaching aims at arming engineering students with problem-solving skills using computer program and state-of-the-art AI techniques.
