Background

Professor Guo is the Head of Centre for Assured & Connected Autonomy. He is the Head of Human Machine Intelligence Group at ³ÉÈËÖ±²¥.

He obtained his MEng, MA, and PhD degrees from the University of Cambridge. Since 2012, he has built an award-winning team at the University of Warwick (2012-19) and then ³ÉÈËÖ±²¥ (2019-now). His research group has won the IET Innovation Award winner (2015) and been a runner-up in the Bell Labs Prize three times (2014, 2017, 2019).

He has been PI on £8.2m and investigator on over £35m of research funding, and was a Turing Fellow at the Alan Turing Institute. He has published 160+ journal papers (total IF 860+) and 100+ IEEE/ACM conference papers, with over 7000 citations (h-index 42). This includes a Nature, Nature Communications, Nature Machine Intelligence, Nature Comp.Sci., and several cover issues in Royal Society, Nature Publishing Group, and IEEE journals. He currently serves as editor on several IEEE & Royal Society journals, and is a Full Member of the EPSRC peer-review college, as well as reviewing for UKRI FLF, ESRC, MRC, Royal Society, and Leverhulme.

Research opportunities

As human society is becoming increasingly inter-connected, human and machine intelligence is more closely interfaced than ever. Our networked society faces serious challenges from the human and natural world. My expertise is in connected intelligence, linking: data science, communication systems, and machine learning. My research designs data-driven solutions for socio-cyber-physical ecosystems. In particular, I am interested in how AI and information systems can be designed for specific challenging environments or tasks, whilst integrating human domain knowledge.
