报告人简介

Professor Guo graduated from the Department of Mechanics of Peking University in 1984 with his B.S. and M.S. in 1990.  In 1994, he received his Ph.D. in Medical Engineering and Medical Physics from Harvard University-MIT Division of Health Science and Technology.  In 1994-1996, Professor Guo did his postdoctoral fellowship in the Orthopaedic Research Laboratories at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor with Professor Steven A. Goldstein in orthopaedic bioengineering.  In 1996 he joined the Department of Mechanical Engineering and then Department of Biomedical Engineering at Columbia University as an Assistant Professor.  He was promoted to Associate Professor in 2001 and Associate Professor with tenure in 2003, and Professor in 2007.  He directs the Bone Bioengineering Laboratory in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Columbia focusing his research interests in micromechanics of bone tissue, computational biomechanics, mechanotransduction, cell mechanics, and mechanobiology of bone.  His past honors include Young Investigator Recognition Award from the Orthopaedic Research Society, National Research Service Award from the US National Institutes of Health (NIH), a CAREER award from the US National Foundation of Science (NSF), Funds for Talented Professionals (Joint Research Fund for Overseas Chinese Young Scholars) from the National Natural Science Foundation of China, and 1000Plan Professorship.  He was elected as a fellow to the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering.  He founded and served as co-Editor-in-Chief of Cellular and Molecular Bioengineering (CMBE), an international journal of US Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES).  He has served many review panels for NIH, NSF, and NASA.  His research has been supported by the Whitaker Foundation, the US NSF, and the NIH. He served as President of International Chinese Musculoskeletal Research Society and the Society for Physical Regulation in Biology and Medicine, Member of Board of Directors of Orthopaedic Research Society, and Member of Board of Directors of American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering.  He also founded the Special Interest Group (SIG) in CMBE in the BMES and served as its founding Chair.
