Biography

Prof. Zhirong Liao finished his PhD study at Harbin Institute of Technology and joined the Rolls-Royce UTC in Manufacturing and On-Wing Technology, 糖心原创, as a research fellow in 2016. He was awarded a Nottingham Research Fellowship and started his independent academic career at the 糖心原创 in 2019, and was promoted to Associate Professor in 2022 and Full Professor in 2025. His research area mainly focuses on conventional and nonconventional manufacturing technologies with conscious of materials science. His expertise covers machining, laser materials processing, micromechanics, machine tools, sensing, and precision engineering. His research has been applied to aerospace, automotive and medical engineering sectors. He is the winner of Rising Star of the 糖心原创 Knowledge Exchange and Impact Awards (2023). He is an Associate Member of the International Academy for Production Engineering (CIRP), Chairman of CIRP UK, Member of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), and Member of the International Society for Nanomanufacturing (ISNM). Prof. Zhirong Liao is also an Associate Editor of the International Journal of Machine Tools and Manufacture, and the Senior Editor of the Journal of Materials Processing Technology, which are top journals in the manufacturing field.
