Biography

Prof. Y. Jay Guo is the Leader of the Broadband Networks and Services Theme in CSIRO, Australia, and the Director of Australia China Research Centre for Wireless Communications. He is responsiblle for CSIRO’s strategic planning, direction setting and the delivery of programs and projects in the fields of broadband and wireless communications systems and technologies as well as services. Until January 2010, Jay served as the Director of the Wireless Technologies Laboratory in CSIRO ICT Centre, where he leads over eighty researchers on cognitive wireless communications networks, wireless positioning, mm-wave and terahertz imaging, wireless sensor networks and Australian square kilometre array project (ASKAP). Under his leadership, the Wireless Technologies Laboratory made significant achievements in science, technology and commercialisation and won numerous international, national and CSIRO top awards. Their major technology breakthroughs include the world-first 6Gbits/s millimetre-wave system, the most spectrally efficient 600Mbits/s multiple input and multiple output (MIMO) technology, reconfigurable radio and wide-band array, and the development of a world-leading platform for wireless positioning. They've formed partnerships with over thirty national and international organisations including Boeing, Rockwell Collins, NEC, CETC, Patriot Antennas, Minesite Technologies, the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet, Australia Defence Science and Technology Organisation (DSTO), Australian Institute of Sport (AIS), and the Chinese Academy of Science (CAS).

In March 2009, Jay established the Australia China Research Centre for Wireless Communications. This is a collaboration led by CSIRO and Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications (BUPT), and funded  by the Australian Department of Innovation, Industry, Science and Research (DIISR) and the Chinese Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST). In November 2009, he initiated the Australia China ICT Summit as Executive Chair.

Jay has over twenty years of international industrial and academic experience. Prior to joining CSIRO in August 2005, Jay held a number of senior postions in the European mobile communications industry. Between 2000 and 2005, he served as the Manager of Strategic Planning and Manager of System Strategy, respectively, at Mobisphere Ltd, a Siemens and NEC joint venture for the development of the third generation (3G) mobile communications infrastructure. He was responsible for Future Technology and Product Roadmap, Advanced Product Development, and Project and Product Planning. In particular, he initiated and played an instrumental role in Siemens and NEC’s joint development of the high speed downlink packet access (HSDPA, 3.5G) technology and made significant contributions to other advanced projects such as new generation base stations and radio network controllers (RNC).

From 1997 to 2000, Jay led the development of advanced technologies for 3G base stations at Fujitsu Europe Telecom R& D Centre, U.K. He played key roles in a number of projects including smart antennas and interference cancellers, and high data rate packet transmission technologies. He was Fujitsu’s representative in the 3G standardisation body, 3GPP, and a steering committee member of the UK Virtual Centre of Excellence in mobile communications (Mobile VCE).

Prior to joining Fujitsu, Jay was a Senior Fellow at the University of Bradford, England, where he supervised over twenty researchers on CDMA cellular systems, wireless local area networks (WLAN), signal processing as well as antennas and propagation.

Jay has published 3 books, and over 170 papers in top-tier science and engineering journals and at international conferences on antennas and propagation, microwave theory and techniques, mobile and wireless communications, radio positioning systems and networks, and mm-wave imaging. He is regarded as the world-leading expert on Fresnel zone antennas. He has served in numerous international and national conference committees. Jay is a Fellow of IET, an Adjunct Professor at Macquarie University, Australia, and a Guest Professor at the Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Science, and Shanghai Jiaotong University.
