Prof Guan is a President's Chair in Computer Science and Engineering and Deputy Dean of the College of Computing & Data Science at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore. He is the Director of the Centre for Brain-Computing Research (CBCR). He has been the Director of the Artificial Intelligence Research Institute of NTU and the Co-Director for S-Lab for Advanced Intelligence from 2020-2024. He initiated and served as the Co-Director of the Rehabilitation Research Institute of Singapore (RRIS), 2015-2018 & 2024-2026. Prior to joining NTU in 2016, he was with the Institute for Infocomm Research, A*SATR, where he established the Brain-Computer Interface research and founded the Department of Neural & Biomedical Technology.
His research interests are in the fields of Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI), Machine Learning, Neural Signal & Image Processing, and Artificial Intelligence. He published 420 refereed journal and conference papers and holds 26 granted patents and patent applications. He licensed 15 patents/technologies to five companies in Singapore and USA. He delivered more than 80 keynote speeches and invited talks (including the keynote at the opening ceremony of the 7th International BCI Meeting, Asilomar, USA, May 2018, and the plenary talk at IEEE International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics (ICORR), July 2015). He is a recipient of the international Annual BCI Research Award (First Prize), the King Salman Award for Disability Research, the Nanyang Research Award, the IES Prestigious Engineering Achievement Award, the Achiever of the Year (Research) Award, the Finalist of the President Technology Award, and the winner of BCI Competitions.
He has been an Associate Editor for IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering, IEEE Reviews in Biomedical Engineering, IEEE Transactions on Artificial Intelligence, Pattern Recognition, Neurocomputing, Brain-Computer Interfaces, Frontiers in Neuroscience, Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, etc. He is on the Advisory Board of IEEE Open Access Journal of Engineering in Medicine and Biology (OJEMB). He was on the IEEE Fellow Evaluation Committee for EMBS Society. He was an APSIPA Distinguished Lecturer, 2017-2018. He served as the General Co-Chair for IEEE ICAA’2018, Conference Chair for the Internet of Things (IoT) Asia 2015, and General Chair for the IEEE HealthCom 2008. He was the President of the Pattern Recognition and Machine Intelligence Association (PREMIA), Singapore, 2008-2010.
He is an elected Fellow of the Singapore Academy of Engineering (SAEng), Fellow of NAI (National Academy of Inventors, USA), Fellow of IEEE (the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers), and Fellow of AIMBE (the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering).
