WELCOME to HOMEPAGE of QICHAO LIU
	Thanks for visiting. I am currently a first year PhD student in the Software Composition and Modeling Lab of Department of Computer and Information Sciences at University of Alabama at Birmingham. My advisor is Dr. Barrett Bryant, who is the smartest man I have ever met. His wife comes from Hong Kong, China and they have two cute girls. Prior to coming to UAB, I got my BS degree in computer science from Shandong University, Jinan, China on June 2008. I come from ZIBO, Shandong Province, hometown of Confucius. It is in the north part of China, where occasionally snows every year. The famous Yellow River runs across the province and into the sea.

Research Interests

In general, my research interests lie in Software Engineering and Programming Language.

My specific interests include:

Model-Driven Engineering (MDE)
Domain-Specific Modeling (DSM)
Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP)

Research Projects

Now I am working on a NSF-sponsored project about Grammar Inference. My job is to make extensions and improvements to a metamodel inference system, which is very interesting and also hard to finish. More information about this please take a look at http://www.cis.uab.edu/softcom/GrammarInference/

Publications

I donnot have any publication yet. However, I really want to fill this part soon.

Personal

1. Soccer is my favorite sports. JUVENTUS and Shandong LUNENG are my supporting club teams, and I also love Italy national team. My colleagues and I form a super league to compete the championship in our lab. I also like playing soccer video games, especially Pro Evolution Soccer of KONAMI Corp. Seriously speaking, it is really hard for people to beat me on this.

2. Life in the United States is awesome. In my private time, I love all kinds of activity in the nature, like riding my bicycle, hiking, having a picnic, reading etc.

3. I am a member of BBC (Birmingham Bicycle Club) and latter this year I may become a spokesman.
