Dr. Mingming Liu is a tenured Assistant Professor in the School of Electronic Engineering at Dublin City University (DCU).

He was a data scientist, applied researcher, and H2020 project lead (5G-Solutions) at IBM Ireland Lab, where the main focus of his work was to leverage the state-of-the-art machine learning and applied optimisation techniques for practical and challenging problems arising in the industry. Before IBM, he worked at University College Dublin as a (senior) postdoctoral research fellow with the Control Engineering and Decision Science Research Group within the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering. He spent almost three years working on both EU and SFI funded projects at UCD, including Green Transportation and Networks (SFI) and Enable-S3 (H2020), with strong collaborations with both academia and industrial partners.

He received a B.Eng degree in Electronic Engineering with first-class honours (ranked first) from National University of Ireland Maynooth in 2011 and his PhD in Control Engineering and Decision Science from the Hamilton Institute at the same university in 2015. His PhD thesis, “Topics in Electromobility and Related Applications”, was supervised by Prof Robert Shorten (Imperial College London) and Prof Sean McLoone (Queen’s University Belfast).

He is an IEEE Senior Member. He has published over 65 papers to date including top-tier journals such as “IEEE Transactions on Smart Grid”, “IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation System”, “IEEE Transactions on Automation Science and Engineering”, “IEEE System Journal”, “IEEE Transactions on Transportation Electrification”， “IEEE Transactions on Artificial Intelligence”, “IEEE Transactions on Cloud Computing”, “Sustainable Cities and Society”, “Pattern Recognition”, “Neural Networks”, “Applied Energy” and “Automatica”. He acts as an academic editor for PLOS ONE and an associate editor for the Journal of Information Systems and Operational Research (INFOR).

Since 2018, he has secured more than 3 million euros in research funding from various sources as the PI. He has actively participated in many academic activities, including technical committees, organisation committees and management committees at both national and international levels. He is the Irish national representative for the EU COST Action CA19126, CA20138, CA21131 and CA24121.
