Biography: 
Dr. Guo obtained his Bachelor and Master degree at Shanghai University, Shanghai, China, in 2008 and 2011, respectively. In 2011, he started his PhD study at Technical University of Denmark (DTU), Denmark, where he joined the group of Ultrafast Nonlinear Optics (UNO) lead by Prof. Morten Bache. His PhD topic was “cascaded quadratic soliton compression in waveguide structures” which includes the near-infrared and mid-infrared soliton pulse formation, and soliton induced supercontinuum generations, as well as light-matter interactions in nonlinear crystals and crystal waveguides. He defended his PhD thesis and obtained the degree in 2014.

Since 2015, he joined the Kippenberg Laboratory (Laboratory of Photonics and Quantum Measurements, LPQM) atSwiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland, and embarked on a new phase of his career as a postdoctoral scientist. His research interests were centered on microresonator based optical frequency combs andcavity dissipative soliton physics, with a focus on mid-infrared frequency comb generations in nano-photonic chip-based devices.

In 2019, he received a professorship in Photonics Engineering at Shanghai University (Shanghai, China) where now he is building up his own lab. His group will focus on the topic of optical frequency combs and ultra-fast nonlinear regimes in optical frequency metrology.
