Dr. Liang Guo is an assistant professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio, USA. He received the B.E. degree in biomedical engineering from Tsinghua University, Beijing in 2004 and the Ph.D. degree in bioengineering from Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, GA in 2011. Subsequently, he worked as a postdoctoral associate in the Langer Lab at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA. He started as an assistant professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Neuroscience in September 2013 at The Ohio State University. He has dived into the neuroengineering field since his sophomore year in college and has been passionate to adhere to this field through his Ph.D. and postdoc trainings. His primary research interests are in neural interface engineering and biocircuit engineering as applied to neuroscience and neural prosthetics. He has published over 30 journal papers and obtained five patents. Earlier,he had edited a Springer book Neural Interface Engineering: Linking the Physical World and the Nervous System. Among other honors, he was awarded the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Young Faculty Award in 2017, the National Science Foundation (NSF) Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Award in 2018, and the OSU College of Engineering Lumley Research Award in 2018.
