Prof. Dr. Libo Liu, PhD, is a Researcher and Doctoral Supervisor. He graduated from Hunan Normal University in 1992 and received his PhD in space physics from Wuhan University in 1997. Career: July 1997–June 1999, Postdoctoral Fellow, Wuhan Institute of Physics and Mathematics, Chinese Academy of Sciences; June 1999, Associate Researcher; 2002, Researcher; 2004–present, Professor, Institute of Geology and Geophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences. Liu is engaged in space physics research in the field of ionospheric physics, mainly focusing on observation and model research of the ionospheric space environment. Main projects: systematic study of the variation in ionospheric solar activity, development of a new method for diagnosing upper atmosphere dynamics using ionospheric characteristic parameters, obtaining a series of distinctive research results on ionospheric weather characteristics and ionospheric height structure. He is a member of the Space Physics Committee of the Space Science Society, the Space Weather Committee of the Geophysical Society, and the Space Weather Committee of the Chinese Meteorological Society; he also serves on the editorial boards of Science Bulletin, the International Journal of Geophysics, EPP, the Journal of Geophysics, the Journal of Radio Science, and the Journal of Space Science; and has been a guest editor of Advances in Space Research, the International Journal of Geophysics, and the Journal of Geophysics.
