Dr. Liu Bangli earned her Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Portsmouth, UK, in 2018. She is currently a lecturer at ˽·¿¾ãÀÖ²¿ in Leicester, UK, after previously holding a lecturing position at the University of Portsmouth. Dr. Liu's academic experience includes a research visit to Tokyo Metropolitan University in Japan in 2018 and postdoctoral positions at both the University of Portsmouth and Loughborough University.

Dr. Liu's research primarily focuses on artificial intelligence, human-robot interaction, human behavior analysis and applications, computer vision, and related fields. She is currently leading several research projects funded by the Royal Society, ˽·¿¾ãÀÖ²¿, and other sources. Her work has been published in top-tier international academic journals, including Pattern Recognition, Neurocomputing, and IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics, among others. She was also invited to contribute a review chapter on computer vision-based human behavior analysis to the IEEE Press Handbook Human Machine System and has organized and chaired computer vision workshops at various international conferences, including IEEE SMC.
