Biography
Dr. Zipeng Liang is currently an Assistant Professor (Research) in the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. He obtained his Ph.D. from the same department in 2026, under the supervision of Prof. C.Y. Chung. Previously, he served as a Postdoctoral Fellow and Research Associate at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, and held a research role at The Chinese University of Hong Kong-Shenzhen.
Dr. Liang's research primarily focuses on data-driven planning and operation for smart grids. He has published extensively in top-tier journals, including Engineering, IEEE Transactions on Power Systems, IEEE Transactions on Smart Grid, and IEEE Transactions on Sustainable Energy. He currently serves as an Outstanding Youth Editorial Board Member for Protection and Control of Modern Power Systems, as well as an Associate Young Editor for IET Energy Conversion and Economics and Electrical Measurement & Instrumentation. Dr. Liang has received several prestigious awards, including the PolyU Presidential Fellowship, the Outstanding Reviewer Award for IEEE Transactions on Power Systems, and Best Paper Awards at the IEEE PES International Meeting and the IEEE PES Asia-Pacific Power and Energy Engineering Conference.
In collaboration with his Ph.D. supervisor, Prof. C.Y. Chung (Head of the EEE Department, Director of RCGM, and Fellow of CAE, IEEE, CSEE, EIC, IET and HKIE), Dr. Liang is actively seeking highly motivated Ph.D. students, Research Assistants, and Postdoctoral Fellows. Interested individuals are welcome to contact Dr. Liang and Prof. C.Y. Chung via email, attaching their CV with representative publications.
