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 focuses on experimental light-matter interaction phenomena and nanophotonics in mid-infrared and terahertz regimes. His research interests include scanning near-field optical microscopy (SNOM) and light-matter interactions in nanomaterials and nanostructures, e.g., nanoscale electron transport and how light interacting with proteins and cartilages.
Since 2022, He has independently performed peer reviews for internationally recognised journals > 30 times including Nature Communications, ACS Photonics, ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, IEEE Transactions on Terahertz Science and Technology, Optics Letters, Optics Express, Results in Physics, Spectrochimica Acta - Part A: Molecular and Biomolecular Spectroscopy, and Review of Scientific Instruments.
He also contributes as a lecturer for teaching third-year undergraduate course, ELEC3100 Fundamentals of Electromagnetic Fields and Waves, with other senior colleagues.
