Yang Guo's research interests are in manufacturing, materials processing, experimental mechanics, process control and optimization. Current research activities are (1) in-situ full-field measurement of chip plastic flow in machining using high-speed imaging and digital image correlation technique, (2) novel machining processes including modulation assisted machining and constrained machining, and (3) force-based adaptive control and optimization of machining processes.
Prior to joining MSU, Yang Guo worked as a R&D engineer at M4 Sciences LLC, West Lafayette, Indiana. Before that, he was a postdoc research associate at Center for Materials Processing & Tribology at Purdue University.
