Professor Zhixiong Guo is a distinguished faculty member in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey. He serves as Editor-in-Chief for the Journal of Enhanced Heat Transfer and Heat Transfer Research, and has made significant contributions to thermal sciences and engineering. His research spans multiple domains including radiative heat transfer, ultrafast laser-tissue interactions, and nanoscale thermal phenomena.
Professor Guo received his educational foundation at Tsinghua University in Beijing, China, where he earned a B.S., M.S., and Dr. Eng. in Engineering Physics. His academic excellence was evident as he graduated first in his class (1/28) for his B.S. and completed his M.S. one year ahead of schedule. He then pursued and completed his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Polytechnic University (now Polytechnic School of Engineering, New York University) in just two years.
Professor Guo's research interests center on advanced heat transfer phenomena, with particular expertise in radiative transfer in participating media, ultrafast laser-tissue interactions, and nanoscale thermal transport. His work bridges theoretical modeling with practical applications in energy systems, biomedical engineering, and materials science. He has pioneered computational methods for solving complex radiation transfer problems and developed innovative optical sensing techniques using whispering-gallery mode resonators.
Analysis of Professor Guo's recent publications reveals a strong focus on emerging thermal technologies, including machine learning applications in heat transfer prediction, nanofluid thermal properties, and advanced materials for thermal management. His work demonstrates a clear trajectory from fundamental radiative transfer research toward practical applications in energy efficiency, biomedical diagnostics, and advanced manufacturing.
Professor Guo has received numerous prestigious honors including:
- Fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2011
- Fellow of the American Society of Thermal and Fluids Engineers (ASTFE), 2021
- Rutgers, The Board of Trustees Award for Excellence in Research, 2018
As Editor-in-Chief of two leading journals in the field, Professor Guo has significantly shaped the direction of thermal sciences research. His laboratory at Rutgers focuses on cutting-edge research in optical thermal sensing, ultrafast radiation phenomena, and advanced computational methods for heat transfer analysis. Current research directions include machine learning applications in thermal systems and novel approaches to energy conversion and storage.
