Jonathan C.L. Liu was born in Taiwan, and formally educated with computer science/engineering BS degree from Chung-Yuan University. He then received the M.S. degree in Computer Science from University of Alabama and the Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from University of Minnesota. In 1993-1996, Dr. Liu had associated with the Distributed Multimedia Research Center(DMRC) at University of Minnesota, where he had R&D cooperations with Honeywell Technology Center (HTC) and IVI Publishing. In 1996-1999, Dr. Liu was an Assistant Professor of Computer Science with the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Washington State University. Since August 1999, Dr. Liu has been with the CISE Department at University of Florida, where he is now a tenured Associate Professor. His current research interests include high-speed wired and wireless networks, multimedia communications, parallel processing and artificial intelligence. Dr. Liu has published over 70 technical papers including 26 journal papers in the above areas. Dr. Liu is the recipient of the National Science Foundation CAREER Award. Dr. Liu is a senior member of IEEE and a professional member of ACM.


Research Projects: (Always) Under Construction
In general, since early 1990s, Dr. Liu's research has focused on the various aspects of large-scale distributed multimedia systems in order to guarantee the end-to-end application-level performance over the emerging high-speed networks (wired and wireless).
