Biography

Dr. Zhengwu Liu is a Research Assistant Professor in Electrical and Electronic Engineering at the University of Hong Kong. His research focuses on memristor-based neuromorphic computing technologies and hardware-software co-designs based on compute-in-memory architectures, as well as their applications in brain-computer interfaces, signal processing and artificial intelligence.

His research has been published in prestigious journals including Nature Electronics, Nature Communications, and Science Advances, and accepted at premier conferences such as IEDM and DAC. He currently serves as Principal Investigator of projects awarded by Hong Kong RGC and NSFC.

He serves as Editorial Board Member for Scientific Reports and IOP BPEX, and Junior Editorial Board Member for BMEF (a Science Partner Journal). He is a Technical Program Committee member for leading conferences including ICCAD (2023-2025) and ASPDAC (2025-2026), and reviewer for over 10 journals including Nature Communications, Small, and Journal of Neural Engineering.

He received his Ph.D. from Tsinghua University (2023) and B.E. from the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (2018).
