He is currently a full Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, and an Adjunct Professor at Queensland University of Technology, Australia, and Wuhan University and Tongji University, China. Prof. GUO’s major research interests include atmospheric chemistry, ozone formation mechanisms, source apportionment, organic aerosols, acidic ultrafine particles and new particle formation. A unique theme of his research is understanding the formation of ozone and secondary organic aerosols in photochemical smog, which has adverse impacts on human health, air quality and climate change. One of his major foci is to provide new research methods to solve elusive scientific questions through the development and application of novel simulation models and analytical instruments, thereby promoting the forefront of observational and numerical capabilities. Prof. GUO is an investigator of over 70 highly competitive external research projects including two RGC Collaborative Research Fund projects as PC, two Theme-based Research Scheme projects as Co-PI, and one National Key R&D program of China as PI, with grants over 70 million Hong Kong dollars (~9M US dollars). He has published over 170 papers in high-quality international journals with over 11,300 citations and a h-index of 53 (Google scholar) to date. He won the first prize of Guangdong Provincial Government Science and Technology Award in 2014, the second prize of Natural Science of the Ministry of Education Award in 2016, Gold Medal and Special Merit Award at the 71st International Trade Fair for Ideas, Inventions and New Products (iENA) in 2019, and other scientific and technological awards.
