De Li Liu is principal Research Scientist with NSW Department of Primary Industries (NSWDPI), Australia. He is a computer modeler with 26 years research experience in developing crop growth models, computer simulation and decision support systems, and modelling climate variability and climate change impacts on agricultural system. He joined NSW Agriculture (now NSW DPI) in 1997 after working with Bureau of Sugar Experimental Stations (BSES) for 7 years as Postdoctoral Research Fellow and Research Officer, where he developed a physiological-based sugarcane simulation model (QCANE). Recently, he developed a standalone GIS based Climate Change Adaptation Strategy Tool (CCAST), weather generator-based statistical downscaling model (WG_SDSM). He has published over 70 scientific journal papers and over 70 conference papers and is currently Adjunct Professor at Charles Sturt University and a member of Graham Centre for Agricultural Innovation.
