7th International Conference on Computer Modeling & Simulation

Prof. William Guo
Central Queensland University, Australia

Professor William Guo teaches and researches in computation and applied mathematics at Central Queensland University Australia (CQU). He was the Dean of the School of Engineering and Technology at CQU from Jan 2014-Jan 2015, and the Deputy Dean of the School from Feb 2013-Jan 2014. He has significant experience in academic governance through his services in various committees and boards since 2009, including CQU Education Committee (2011-2012), CQU Academic Board (2013-2014), and Australian Council of Deans of ICT (2013-), and as an Executive Member of Australian Council of Professors and Heads of IS (2012-).  His teaching over the past 13 years has covered data structures and algorithms analysis, computational intelligence, systems analysis and architecture, IT/IS project management, e-Business, digital forensics, information security, research methods, and engineering mathematics. He was the recipient of CQU Vice-Chancellor’s Award for Good Practice in Learning and Teaching (2012) and Commendation in Student Voice Awards (2014). His research interests include computational intelligence, image processing, bioinformatics, big data modelling and simulation. He has published more than seventy papers in international journals and conference proceedings, and a new text (published by Pearson) in advanced engineering mathematics in 2014. He has supervised research higher degree students to completion. He is a member of IEEE, ACM, ACS, and Australian Mathematics Society (AUSTMS).
