Dr. Jialun Liu is an Associate Professor in Intelligent Transportation Systems Research Center, Wuhan University of Technology, and a member of National Engineering Research Center for Water Transport Safety. From 2006 to 2010, he studied at Wuhan University of Technology, Wuhan, China, specializing in Navigation Technology. From 2008 to 2010, he minored in Japanese at Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan, China. He obtained his B.Sc. and B.A. degrees in 2010 from these two universities, respectively. After that, he was recommended to continue master education at Wuhan University of Technology in Traffic Engineering and Control. In 2012, he was founded by China Scholarship Council and started his Ph.D. research at Delft University of Technology, Delft, the Netherlands. In 2013, he received his M.Sc. degree. From 2012 to 2017, Jialun Liu worked at the section of Ship Design, Operation, and Production in the Department of Marine and Transportation Technology. From March 2017, he started working at Wuhan University of Technology. He received "Chutian Excellent Young Scholar" in 2017 and got promoted to be an Associate Professor. He has been appointed as reviewers of Ocean Engineering, Ships and Offshore Structures, Journal of Marine Science and Technology, International Journal of Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering, and other international journals and conferences. He has interests in maneuvering modeling and motion control of ships, applications of computational fluid dynamics methods to maritime engineering, developments of autonomous ships, and functional testing of smart ships.
