He had previously held academic positions at King s College London and the University of Westminster, and has visited the Max Planck Institute for Foreign and International Criminal Law in Freiberg on a Max Planck Society Scholarship. His doctoral work at King s College London was supported by grants from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, King s College London and the Government of Alberta. Controversially arguing that ordinary legal processes were at the source of the impunity enjoyed by the modern private military company, his thesis was passed without amendments and has been adapted into a monography to be published by Hart in September He was awarded his LL.M. in Human Rights Law by University College London with distinction, and also holds degrees in law and psychology. Dr Liu s research interests lie at the margins of the international humanitarian and human rights law. Recently, he has turned his attention to the legal challenges raised by the prospect of autonomous weapons systems and was a member of the Steering Committee of a project on this topic led by the Academy of European Law at the European University Institute. In this role, he helped to secure conference funding from the Fritz Thyssen Foundation for a high profile conference and is a co-editor of the subsequent volume to be published by Cambridge University Press. He is currently working on a monograph on the legal responses to autonomous weapons systems to be published also by Hart. Qualifications LLB (Hons.)
