Researcher biography
Dr. Xiao Guo currently is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the University of Queensland (Brisbane, Australia). He obtained his Bachelor of Science in Physics from Northeastern University in 2017. He then received his Master in Electronic and Electrical Engineering from the University of Hong Kong in 2018 and his PhD in Electrical Engineering from the University of Queensland at the end of 2022. (personal website: xiaoguo1995.github.io/)
His research interests include scanning near-field optical microscopy (SNOM) and light-matter interactions in nanomaterials and nanostructures between mid-infrared and terahertz regimes. Since 2022, He has independently performed peer reviews for internationally recognised journals > 40 times including Nature Communications, Light: Science & Applications, ACS Photonics, etc.
He also contributes as a lecturer for teaching third-year undergraduate course, ELEC3100 Fundamentals of Electromagnetic Fields and Waves, with other senior colleagues.
