GUO Meiyu

Prof. GUO Meiyu serves as an Assistant Professor at Hong Kong Baptist University, where she is affiliated with the Department of Geography and a member of the Smart Society Lab. Her research bridges energy systems and environmental sustainability, with particular focus on China's unconventional energy development and carbon neutrality pathways.

Her academic credentials include:

• Ph.D. from The Chinese University of Hong Kong
• Visiting Research Fellowship at Harvard University's School of Engineering and Applied Science
• M.Ec. from Renmin University of China
• B.Sc. from Renmin University of China

Dr. Guo's research centers on shale gas development and its environmental implications, examining water resource impacts, carbon market mechanisms, and policy frameworks for sustainable energy transitions. Her work integrates engineering analysis with economic modeling to address critical gaps in China's energy-environment nexus, particularly regarding unconventional resource extraction and decarbonization strategies.

Analysis of her recent publications reveals three dominant research trajectories: (1) technical optimization of shale gas operations with environmental safeguards, (2) carbon market development and certification systems, and (3) spatial analysis of energy-land interactions. Her interdisciplinary approach combines geospatial techniques, policy analysis, and environmental economics to tackle complex sustainability challenges in rapidly industrializing regions.

Dr. Guo has not listed any major scientific awards in the provided information.

She actively mentors graduate researchers through multiple externally funded projects:

• Principal Investigator for RGC's Early Career Scheme (2025-2027) on Xinjiang shale water impacts
• Lead on Guangdong Natural Science Fund project for low-carbon shale technologies
• PI for HKBU's carbon credit certification initiative
• Multiple grants from National Natural Science Foundation of China

As a core member of the Smart Society Lab, Dr. Guo contributes to interdisciplinary research on sustainable urban systems, focusing on energy-water-land interactions in China's rapidly developing regions through integrated geospatial and policy analysis frameworks.
