Professor Leibo Liu received his bachelor's and doctoral degrees in Electronic Engineering and Microelectronics from Tsinghua University in 1999 and 2004, respectively. He subsequently taught at the European Microelectronics Center, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the University of Oxford (in 2006, 2013 and 2017). He is currently a Tsinghua Microelectronics Director (Tenured Professor). He has long been engaged in reconfigurable computing and has supervised more than 10 projects including key projects of the 863 Program (Chief Expert), National Natural Science Foundation, Basic Research Project of the National Defense Science and Technology Bureau, and major international cooperation projects. He has published more than 80 SCI-indexed papers and more than 60 EI-indexed papers.

In the course of his career, he has won e.g. the National Technology Invention Award (second prize), the China Patent Gold Award, the Ministry of Education Technology Invention Award (firstprize), and the Jiangxi Science and Technology Progress Award (second prize).
