Hua Guo, Ph.D., is a tenured associate professor at Center for Biomedical Imaging Research, Department of Biomedical Engineering at Tsinghua University in Beijing. He received his Ph.D. from the department of Biomedical Engineering at Duke University in 2006. He was on the faculty of Medical Center of New York University from 2008 to 2010 and worked on MR angiography. Before that he once worked in Siemens as a scientist and at the University of Hong Kong as a postdoc. The primary research of Dr. Guo’s lab is focused on two core areas in MRI. One is MRI physics including novel sequence design and image reconstruction, which can potentially provide high spatiotemporal resolution and multi-parametric quantitative imaging. Particularly, he and his team are working on advanced diffusion weighted imaging including resolution improvement, motion correction and artifact control for different organs. The other area is the translational applications of advanced MRI techniques for accurate diagnosis and disease management. He has established substantial collaborations with hospitals in various aspects including neuroimaging, body imaging and surgery planning. He also has a close collaboration with MRI companies. Dr. Guo has been serving on the editorial board of several scientific journals and is an active reviewer for more than 10 MRI related journals.
