Xianyuan Liu

I currently serve as a Senior AI Research Engineer at the Department of Computer Science, and as the Assistant Head of AI Research Engineering at the Centre for Machine Intelligence, both at the University of Sheffield.

My current research focuses on developing machine learning methods and tools for materials science and multimodal learning. I take pride in co-founding and being the principal developer of PyKale, an open-source library that delivers a diverse range of easily accessible multi-modal and transfer learning algorithms.

I received my Ph.D. degree in Signal and Information Processing from the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2023. My academic journey began with a B.Eng. degree in Measuring Control Technology and Instruments from Southeast University in 2016. Additionally, I was a visiting researcher at the Department of Computer Science, University of Sheffield from 2019 to 2021.
