Liu was named Fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) in 2015[2] for contributions to sensor networks and Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) in 2015[3] for contributions to wireless sensor networks and systems.

He is the Editor-in-Chief of ACM Transactions on Sensor Network[4] and is the Honorary Chair of the ACM China Council.[5]

Biography

Yunhao Liu received his B.S. degree from Automation Department at Tsinghua University in 1995, an M.A. degree from Graduate School of Translation and Interpreting at Beijing Foreign Studies University in 1997, and an M.S. and Ph.D. degree from Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Michigan State University in 2003 and 2004.

From 2004 to 2011, he was Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, and Postgraduate Director in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST). He was Professor in School of Information Science and Technology at Tsinghua University 2011 through 2013, and he served as Chang Jiang Professor and the Dean of School of Software, Tsinghua University, 2013 to 2017. From 2018, he joined MSU and now serves as MSU Foundation Professor, and from 2018 to 2019, he served as chairperson designee in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Michigan State University.

Honors and Awards

Yunhao received Hong Kong Best Innovation & Research Grand Award for building the world's earliest Coal Mine Surveillance with Wireless Sensor Networks[6] in 2007. He received the First Class Ministry of Education Nature Science Award for Location and Localizability study in wireless networks in 2010.[7]

In 2011, Liu was awarded the State Natural Science Award for his contribution to wireless localization theory and practice.[8] In the same year, he also received one of the five Distinguished Young Scholar Awards in Computer Science by National Natural Science Foundation of China.[9] In 2013, Liu was named the ACM Presidential Award for his contribution to spreading the word and shared the value that ACM offers to China's vast computing community.[10]

In 2014, the 20th Annual International Conference on Mobile Computing and Networking (ACM MobiCom) awards the best paper award to Liu's group for their paper Tagoram: Real-Time Tracking of Mobile RFID Tags to High Precision Using COTS Devices.[11][12][13] Yunhao and his students designed and developed Tagoram, and successfully deployed this system in Terminal One, Beijing Capital International Airport and Sanya Phoenix International Airport. The prototype ran over a year and consumed 110,000 RFID tags involving 53 destination airports, 93 airlines, and 1,094 flights. Based on the observation that the tag diversity is the key to the localization performance, they designed and implemented Differential Augmented Hologram (DAH) localization scheme, which successfully eliminated the impact of tag diversity on the localization accuracy, and improved the localization performance to millimeter-level, which was 40 times better than the state-of-the-art. The Tagoram system also won the Gold Award in Soft China Forum 2013, which is the highest honor in Chinese Software industry.[13][14] It was the first time that the conference awards its highest award to an Asian institution.

In 2015, Liu was named Fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) for contributions to sensor networks,[2] and Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) for contributions to wireless sensor networks and systems.[3]

MobiCom 2014 Best paper award

In 2016, Liu was awarded the IOT Young Achievement Award[15] for his contribution to the Internet of Things by China Computer Federation.

In 2017, Liu was named CSE Distinguished Alumni by Michigan State University.[16]

In 2018, Liu was named MSU Foundation Professor by Michigan State University.[1]
