Tianruo Guo is a Senior Lecturer and Early Career Academic Fellow in the Graduate School of Biomedical Engineering at the University of New South Wales. He leads a computational modeling team dedicated to developing virtual nervous systems. His research focuses on studying neurophysiology and neural responses to electrical and optogenetic stimulation, integrating advanced computational techniques with experimental neuroscience. Guo has pioneered a world-first simulation platform known as the 'virtual human retina,' aimed at studying retinal degeneration and optimizing stimulation strategies to enhance artificial vision solutions. Over the past ten years, he has gained extensive experience in recording electrophysiological signals from biological tissue, utilizing patch-clamping to assess the activity of functionally distinct retinal pathways. Guo's work proposes innovative new stimulation schemes targeting specific retinal ganglion cell classes, designed to aid in the development of visual prostheses capable of realistically recreating visual scenes. His significant contributions are highlighted by over 80 peer-reviewed publications in neural engineering, neurophysiology, and bio-signal processing, with research published in top journals including Brain Stimulation and Nanobiotechnology.
