Jonathan C.L. Liu was born in Taiwan, and formally educated with computer science/engineering BS degree in 1980s. 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 85 technical papers including 34 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. As Fall Semester 2012, Dr. Liu has taught 828 graduate students and 814 undergraduate students in his classes.
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).

(100 Fastest Cities Worldwide)
Cities in Asia overwhelmingly continued to dominate the top 100 list, once again accounting for three-quarters of the list, with 61 cities in Japan and 13 cities in South Korea and Hong Kong.
Only thirteen U.S. cities made the list, with San Jose, CA ranking as the fastest U.S. city (#57 out of 100).
The overall average connection speed for the U.S. as a whole in the third quarter of 2010 was 5.0 Mbps.

(Global Connection Speeds)
Globally, the average connection speed once again increased, both quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year, reaching nearly 2 Mbps. Taiwan’s 24% quarterly growth was the most significant among the top 10 countries/regions, enabling it to achieve an average connection speed of 5 Mbps. In examining the average peak speeds around the world, only four countries/regions had speeds of 30 Mbps or more – South Korea, Japan, Hong Kong and Romania.
