About

Xuejiao Liao is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of wireless communications and intelligent metamaterials, whose work has reshaped how we think about programmable electromagnetic environments. Her most-cited paper, "Striking antibody evasion of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron sub-lineages BQ.1.1, XBB.1 and CH.1.1" (2023, 7 citations), introduces an intelligent indoor metasurface robotic system that bridges the physical and cyber layers. By integrating programmable metasurfaces with artificial intelligence tools, Liao has demonstrated how reconfigurable surfaces can dynamically control electromagnetic waves for enhanced wireless communication, sensing, and security. Her major contributions lie in developing cyber-physical architectures that allow metasurfaces to autonomously adapt to changing environments, enabling real-time beamforming, signal enhancement, and interference mitigation. This work has profound implications for 6G networks, smart buildings, and IoT systems, where adaptive electromagnetic control is critical. Liao’s research is notable for its fusion of hardware design with machine learning, creating a new paradigm for intelligent surfaces that can "think" and "act" in response to their surroundings. With growing citation impact, she is establishing herself as a key figure in the emerging field of AI-driven metamaterials, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in wireless technology.
