Dr. Yunlong Guo is currently working as a Postdoc on the topic of maglev-derived system development. He is a recipient of the prestigious Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowships. His research is mainly on railway geotechnics and railway structure monitoring with cutting-edge methods (DIC, PIV, GPR, image analysis). Applying new materials and designs to railway tracks, e.g. recycled rubber chips, recycled ballast, and sleeper design. He is focusing on railway inspection using ground-penetrating radar and track inspection trains.
