Xiaohui directs the University Research Centre for Intelligent Data Analysis conducting interdisciplinary research involving artificial intelligence, dynamic systems, human-computer interaction, signal processing and statistical pattern recognition. He is working with talented life, clinical and physical scientists on a variety of challenging data analysis problems, especially for biomedical applications.

Since joining Brunel, Professor Liu has been Principal Investigator of a number of research projects, including those funded by the BBSRC, EPSRC, and Technology Strategy Board. He has also advised funding agencies on interdisciplinary research programmes and served on grant panels of research councils in the UK, including the BBSRC, EPSRC and NERC.

Professor Liu was the founding chair of the biennial symposia on Intelligent Data Analysis (IDA), an interdisciplinary study concerned with the effective analysis of data. The first meeting took place in Baden-Baden, Germany in August 1995, and here is the conference report. The second IDA meeting took place at Birkbeck College in August 1997 and the conference proceedings were published the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) 1280. The subsequent IDA conference proceedings were published in LNCS 1642; 2189; 2810; 3646; 4723; etc.


In collaboration with many talented researchers, Xiaohui has published more than 200 papers, over 100 of which are in refereed journals. He has also given many invited talks, including a keynote at the International Conference of the Royal Statistical Society. Below is a sample of his publications.
