Hi, I'm Qiang Liu, an Assistant Professor at the School of Computing, University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Prior to joining UNL, I was a Member of Technical Staff at Nokia Bell Labs. I obtained my Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, supervised by Tao Han. I received my M.S. degree in Communication and Information System at the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China.

My research goal is to design, develop, and implement networking systems and algorithms towards next-gen AI-native wireless networks, and support diversified emerging mobile applications, such as Extended Reality, Autonomous Driving, and Internet of Things. My research philosophy is to integrate theoretical optimization and system experiments in real-world at-scale networks and systems. My current research interests include:

• Wireless Networks: Autonomous Resource Management, O-RAN, Digital Network Twin, Network Slicing, Private Cellular Networks.
• Reinforcement Learning: Simulatio-to-Reality Discrepancy, Safe and Robust DRL, Online Learning, Multi-Agent DRL.
• Edge Computing: Distributed Orchestration, Multi-DNN Inference, Connected Autonomous Driving, Agriculture IoT.
