Kai Liu is a mathematician at the University of Liverpool. His research interests include stochastic analysis, both deterministic and stochastic partial differential equations, and stochastic control. His recent research activities focus on stochastic functional differential equations in abstract spaces. He is a member of the editorial boards of several international journals including the Journal of Stochastic Analysis and Applications and Statistics and Probability Letters.

'The text itself is rather detailed, and therefore can be understood by graduate students and young researchers who have taken a solid course in stochastic analysis. Many examples are provided throughout the text to explain the finer points in the results.' Mar´ıa J. Garrido-Atienza, MathSciNet
