Professor Xiaozhou Liao received his PhD degree from the University of Sydney in 2000. In 2001, he relocated to the United States taking up a Director Funded Postdoctoral Fellowship in Los Alamos National Laboratory in 2001 and was a research scientist in the University of Chicago from 2004 to 2006. He is now a professor in the School of Aerospace, Mechanical and Mechatronic Engineering, at the University of Sydney.

The ultimate goal of a materials scientist is to produce materials with desirable physical, chemical and mechanical properties for practical applications. Professor Xiaozhou Liao uses advanced electron microscopy techniques to examine materials at atomic resolution, laying the groundwork for the design of superior materials for applications including in the semiconductor, automobile and aviation industries. "Because the properties of materials are determined by their structure, it's essential to understand these structures and their relationships to the material's properties, as well as how processing affects the structures and therefore properties of materials. "Electron microscopy, which allows us to see the structures of materials at atomic resolution, is arguably the most powerful technique for the structural characterisation of materials. My research applies state-of-the-art electron microscopy techniques to reveal the structure and properties of advanced structural and functional materials, including nanocrystalline materials. "I also conduct property testing using in-situ electron microscopy techniques. Here at the Australian Centre for Microscopy and Microanalysis I have established the first Australian group to work on the in-situ deformation electron microscopy of advanced materials.
