Yi Guo joined the School of Electrical Engineering & Computer Science at the University of Central Florida (UCF) as a Visiting Assistant Professor in August 2002. Before joining UCF, she performed research in the Center for Engineering Science Advanced Research, Computer Science and Mathematics Division at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, where she was a postdoctoral reseach fellow for two years.

Dr. Guo recieved her Ph.D degree in Electrical and Information Engineering in 1999 from the School of Electrical and Information Engineering at the University of Sydney, Australia. Her research was performed in the Dynamical Systems and Control Group. She received her B.E. degree and M.E. degree in Electrical Engineering from Xi'an University of Technology, China, in 1992 and 1995, respectively.

Dr. Guo's basic research interests are mainly in nonlinear systems and control, cooperative mobile robotics. She has research experience in various projects in power system stabilization and decentralized control, multiple robot motion planning and navigation, and stability modeling and congestion control of computer networks. She's also interested in multidisciplinary areas including control theory, mechanical and electrical engineering, computer science, artificial intelligence, and operational research. Her research goal is to develop the mathematical foundations and computational tools for understanding and designing large complex systems, and applying dynamic systems and control theory in modern engineering systems. Dr. Guo is a senior member of IEEE, and Meeting Finance Chair of Conference Activities Board of IEEE Society of Robotics and Automation.
