Yuei-An Liou, B.S. EE, National Sun Yat-Sen University, M.S.E., EE, University of Michigan, M.S. Atmospheric and Space Sciences, University of Michigan, Ph.D. Electrical Engineering (EE) and Atmospheric, Oceanic, and Space Sciences (AOSS), University of Michigan. Prof. Liou has been awarded Outstanding Alumni Award in National Sun Yat-Sen University(2008) and University of Michigan(2008), and a variety of international prestigious academic awards such as Fellow of the Electromagnetics Academy (2007), Honorary Life Member, The Korean Society of Remote Sensing(2007), Foreign Member, Prokhorov Academy of Engineering Sciences, Russian Federation(2008), and Academician, International Academy of Astronautics(2009).

In 2001, Prof. Liou established the only "Graduate Institute of Hydrological Sciences"in Taiwan. During the time (2005–2006) being the Advisor and Division Director, Science Research Division, National Space Organization (NSPO), he was in charge of the satellite missions scientific research and development, and planning, including the Formosat-3 space mission. Prof. Liou has distinguished himself by significantly contributing to the Formosat-3 space mission and led the research team to advance the radio occultation theory and technique, which is effectively applied in monitoring atmospheric profiles and phenomena, such as gravity waves. With outstanding achievements and leadership, he was awarded the prestigious "Contribution Award to FORMOSAT3 National Space Mission" on July 20, 2006. At the later part of the year 2006, invited as the Dean of College of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science of Ching-Yun University by President Chieh-Hou, Yang, Prof. Liou was honored the first and the only Chair Professor at the very same University. Currently, Prof. Liou is the Distinguished Professor and Director at the Center for Space and Remote Sensing Research, National Central University. He has also established and chaired the Master of Science Program in Remote Sensing Science and Technology since 2008.

Prof. Liou specializes in Satellite Remote Sensing and Atmospheric Science. He has published more than 100 referral papers, and 200 conference papers, including 3 special referral journal special issues and one book:
1. GPS Solutions, vol. 9, 2005: GPS Radio Occultation (RO) Experiments
2. IEEE Tran. on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, Vol. 46, 2008: Meteorology, Climate, Ionosphere, Geodesy, and Reflections from the Ocean surfaces: Studies by Radio Occultation Methods
3. GPS Solutions, vol. 14, 2010: GPS Radio Occultation (RO) Experiments II
And 1 publication: Radio occultation method for remote sensing of the atmosphere and ionosphere, February, 2010

Prof. Liou has devoted himself for academic research, remote sensing science and technology promotion, remote sensing data application in disaster, advanced GPS theory, meteorological research and weather prediction…etc. In addition, he has also driven the cooperative program with Mandarin Daily News to promote science outreach with easily understood articles related to remote sensing science.

Prof. Liou has developed technology with sensibility and applied technology to a variety areas. Moreover, Prof. Liou has analyzed satellite images to provide assistance to international disasters during these years, including the big fire in Australia forest in February, the cyclone that devastated Myanmar and the Sichuan earthquake in May, 2008, and the flood disaster caused by Typhoon Morakot in August, 2009. As can be seen from these above achievements, Prof. Liou has been a model that has endeavored to establish national technology when human beings face global changes such as global warming, greenhouse effect, and polar conservation.
