Background

Lei Guo (Senior Member, IEEE) received the B.Sc. degree in electronics information science and technology from Xidian University, Xi’an, China, in 2010, and the M.Eng. degree in microwave engineering and the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS), The University of Queensland, Brisbane, QLD, Australia, in 2012 and 2017, respectively.

His current research interests include electromagnetic medical imaging, biomedical signal processing, physics-guided deep learning in microwave medical imaging, and microwave circuit design for millimetre-wave antenna array systems.

Dr. Guo received the IEEE R.W. P. King Award for the Best Paper published in IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON ANTENNAS AND PROPAGATION in 2015, several Best Paper prizes at international conferences, e.g., the Best Paper Prize at the International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation (ISAP), two Australian Research Council (ARC) Discovery Project Grants in 2023 and 2024, and Advanced Queensland Fellowship in 2021.

He is also an Associate Editor of IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON GEOSCIENCE AND REMOTE SENSING and Microwave and Optical Technology Letters, and a Guest Editor of IEEE ANTENNAS AND WIRELESS PROPAGATION LETTERS.

Available projects

  • Real-time, three-dimensional, and super-resolution electromagnetic medical imaging

    This project aims to develop a prototype electromagnetic (EM) imaging system that demonstrates the potential to advance the underlying physical mechanisms and elevate the imaging quality of electromagnetic imaging to the next level. We will seek a solution to a prominent research question: Can real-time imaging with super-resolution performance be achieved by reformulating the fundamental physical principles of EM imaging?

    You will develop a physics-guided, deep learning-based imaging algorithm to generate super-resolution images in real-time. An imaging platform will then be designed and constructed to experimentally validate the developed algorithm in several applications, including medical imaging, infrastructure inspection, and body imaging for surveillance.
