Picture of Ling Liu Biography

Ling Liu is currently an associate professor at the College of Computing, Georgia Tech. Before joining Georgia Tech, she was on faculty at the department of computer science and engineering, Oregon Graduate Institute (July 1999) and an assistant professor at the department of computer science, University of Alberta (1994-1998). Dr. Ling Liu received her PhD in 1993 from Tilburg University, The Netherlands, and worked as a senior research scientist at the department of computer science, J.W.G. University, Frankfurt, Germany from 1992 to Summer 1994.

Dr. Ling Liu research interests are in the area of distributed data intensive systems, including Internet Data Management Systems, Wide-area middlware Systems, Transactional Workflow Systems, Data Warehousing and Data Mining, Software Evolution and Reuse. She has published over 70 papers in international journals and conferences. Most of Dr. Ling Liu's recent research has been focused on methodology, framework, and techniques for designing and implementing scalable software systems, specifically the scalability problems with respect to reliability, availability, extensibility, performance, and unpredicability of wide area distributed software systems. Dr. Ling Liu has taught courses on various topics in the area of database systems and distributed computing systems, including graduate courses such as data management on the Internet, distributed computing systems, distributed databases, object-oriented databases, and undergraduate courses such as introduction to database systems, DBMS implementation, and practical programming methodology.
