Dr. Liang ;oined the faculty at the ; eorgia Institute of Technology; Atlanta; in 1; ; 0
as an assistant professor. He subseCuently held positions including Woodruff faculty
fellow ;1; ; ; –2002; and director of the manufacturing education program ;2000–0; ;.
Since 200; he is the Morris M. ; ryan ;r. professor of advanced manufacturing systems.
Liang is renowned for his studies on physics-based analysis and modeling of
machining and grinding processes. His contributions have been attributed to his persistent
pursuit of analytical reasoning and physical understanding of complicated
machining processes. While many researchers in the field rely primarily on experimental
observations; Liang;s research paradigms; driven by physical principles and
constitutive mechanics; have presented an unusual and yet important pathway to both
scientific insights and practical applications that have had an impact on efficiency and
