Derong Liu (S'91-M'94-SM'96-F'05) received the B.S. degree in mechanical engineering from the East China Institute of Technology (now Nanjing University of Science and Technology), Nanjing, China, in 1982, the M.S. degree in electrical engineering from the Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China, in 1987, and the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the University of Notre Dame, Notre Dame, IN, in 1994.

From 1982 to 1984, Dr. Liu was a Product Design Engineer with China North Industries Corporation, Jilin, China. From 1987 to 1990, he was an Instructor with the Graduate School of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China. From 1993 to 1995, he was a Staff Fellow with General Motors Research and Development Center, Warren, MI. From 1995 to 1999, he was an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Stevens Institute of Technology, Hoboken, NJ. He joined the University of Illinois at Chicago in 1999, where he is now a Full Professor of electrical and computer engineering and of computer science. Since 2005, he has been Director of Graduate Studies in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Illinois at Chicago. He is coauthor (with A. N. Michel) of Dynamical Systems with Saturation Nonlinearities: Analysis and Design (New York: Springer-Verlag, 1994), (with A. N. Michel) Qualitative Analysis and Synthesis of Recurrent Neural Networks (New York: Marcel Dekker, 2002), (with H. G. Zhang) Fuzzy Modeling and Fuzzy Control (Boston: Birkhauser, 2006), and (with A. N. Michel and Ling Hou) Stability of Dynamical Systems: Continuous, Discontinuous and Discrete Systems (Boston: Birkhauser, 2007). He is coeditor (with P. J. Antsaklis) of Stability and Control of Dynamical Systems with Applications (Boston, MA: Birkhauser, 2003), (with F. Y. Wang) Advances in Computational Intelligence: Theory and Applications (Singapore: World Scientific, 2006), and (with S. M. Fei, Z. G. Hou, H. G. Zhang, and C. Y. Sun) Advances in Neural Networks - ISNN2007 (Berlin, Germany: Springer-Verlag, 2007).

Dr. Liu is an Associate Editor of Automatica. He was General Chair for the 2007 International Symposium on Neural Networks (Nanjing, China). He was a member of the Conference Editorial Board of the IEEE Control Systems Society (1995-2000) and an Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems-I: Fundamental Theory and Applications (1997-1999), the IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing (2001-2003), and the IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks (2004-2006). Since 2004, he has been the Editor of the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society's Electronic Letter. Since 2006, he has been the Letters Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks and an Associate Editor of the IEEE Computational Intelligence Magazine. He is General Chair for the 2008 IEEE International Conference on Networking, Sensing and Control (Sanya, China). He is Program Chair for the 2008 International Joint Conference on Neural Networks; the 2007 IEEE International Symposium on Approximate Dynamic Programming and Reinforcement Learning; the 21st IEEE International Symposium on Intelligent Control (2006); and the 2006 International Conference on Networking, Sensing and Control. He is an elected AdCom member of the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society (2006-2008), Chair of the Chicago Chapter of the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society, Chair of the Technical Committee on Neural Networks of the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society, and Past Chair of the Technical Committee on Neural Systems and Applications of the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society. He received the Michael J. Birck Fellowship from the University of Notre Dame (1990), the Harvey N. Davis Distinguished Teaching Award from Stevens Institute of Technology (1997), the Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) award from the National Science Foundation (1999), and the University Scholar Award from University of Illinois (2006-2009). He is a member of Eta Kappa Nu and a Fellow of the IEEE.
