      Prof. Zhongwei Liang is Guangzhou scholar distinguished professor of Mechanical Engineering, Advisor for Ph.D and Postdoctoral fellow, Vice-dean of School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering of Guangzhou University, and Director of Guangdong Research Center for Strengthen Grinding and High Performance Micro\Nano Machining (GRC-SGM), Guangdong Research Center for High Efficient Utility of Water/fertilizers and Solar Intelligent Irrigation (GRC-UWSI), and Robot intelligent equipment Research institute of Guangzhou Industrial Information Commission (GZRIERI). He received his B.S. in 2000 and M.S. in 2005 for Mechatronic Engineering, and completed his Ph.D in 2008 and Postdoc. in 2012 from South China University of Technology (China) in Machinery Manufacturing and Automation. After that he served as post-doc researcher, academic research fellow and visiting research professor in South China University of Technology (China), Zhejiang University (China), University of New South Wales (Australia), and Northwestern University (USA), from 2014 to 2018.
       His research interests include key technical areas of major equipment such as high-end equipment manufacturing, intelligent robotic equipment, jet strengthen modification grinding, multi-energy field collaborative machining, and agricultural equipment. He has chaired more than 30 high-level research projects, including the National Science Foundation of China, China National Spark Program, and China National Key Technology R&D Program, etc. Meanwhile, he also participated in some key research projects such as NSF(USA), and ARC(Australia). He also leading the establishment of the China Ministry of Education's industry-university-research collaborative Practice and Innovation Base of "High-performance Manufacturing of Robot Equipment Core Parts". He authored 100 SCI\EI research papers and 3 ESI highly cited papers, meanwhile, more than 60 invention patents, 8 PCT patents, 4 academic monographs, 4 Guangdong provincial major scientific and technological achievements, and 5 standard specifications of Chinese Mechanical Engineering Society, were granted in the past several years also. He wrote the chapter of "Key Technologies for Jet Strengthen Modification Micro-Nano Manufacturing" in “Green Manufacturing Series” edited by Chinese Mechanical Engineering Society, and led the establishment of Industry-University-Research Collaborative Practice and Innovation Base of Ministry of Education for high-performance manufacturing of high-end robot equipment. As the Leading Guest Editor and Associate Editor, he was responsible for more than 10 JCR Q1 journals Special Issue. He also served as the consultant experts for National Natural Science Foundation, and the associate editor, co-chair and reviewer for more than 20 journals and 30 conferences international. and played the roles as Senior Member of CSME, CSTAM, ASME, IEEE, GAMS, TISARBI, and other academic societies. 
       He has been conferred in such academic titles as: The "Qian Bai Shi" Investigator Award of Guangdong, The Director of Innovative Research Group of Guangdong Provincial Universities, The High-level Talent of Guangzhou City, and The Guangzhou Scholar Distinguished Professor, etc. He has won 10 academic awards, for instance, the National Agricultural Science and Technology Award of China, the Golden Award of China National Invention Exhibition, the National First-Class Award of China Robot and Artificial Intelligence Competition, the Guangdong Science and Technology Progress Award, the Gold Medal of China International "Internet Plus" Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition, and the First-class Award for Agricultural Technology Promotion of Guangdong Province. And the research achievements have also been selected in the Chinese national directory of green technology, China advanced practical technology of water conservancy, Major achievements of national bearing industry, the breaking key technologies of Chinese Society of Micro and Nanotechnology, and the major equipment manufacturing technology of China Association for Science and Technology. Thus remarkable economic and social benefits have been achieved.
