Dr. G. R. (Gui-Rong) Liu is an expert in computational mechanics and numerical methods, currently serving as a Professor of Aerospace Engineering and Engineering Mechanics at the University of Cincinnati. A prolific researcher and educator, Dr. Liu is internationally recognized for pioneering meshfree methods, smoothed finite element methods (S-FEM), and smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH). These innovations have significantly advanced simulation techniques in both solid and fluid mechanics. In recent years, Dr.

Liu has authored several influential textbooks and reference works for courses and research in areas such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, mathematics, computational methods, mechanics of materials, solid mechanics, engineering mechanics, applied mechanics, and fluid dynamics.
