XIAOLEI GUO

ASSISTANT PROFESSOR, METALLURGICAL AND MATERIALS ENGINEERING

Dr. Xiaolei Guo is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering at Colorado School of Mines. He is a passionate corrosion scientist with over 10 years of experience in research on corrosion of metals, glass, and crystalline ceramics.

After obtaining his Ph.D. degree, he served for six years as the deputy director of the WastePD center, a multi-institution, interdisciplinary Energy Frontier Research Center funded by the US. Department of Energy.

His recent research focus on three folds: 1) developing advanced materials with excellent corrosion resistance in aggressive environments, 2) understanding the fundamental corrosion mechanisms of diverse materials by leveraging in situ/ex situ electrochemical techniques, advanced characterization, and physics- and machine-learning-based models, and 3) recycling important metals via high temperature electrochemistry and computational predictions.

He is the author of over 40 research articles, including publications in high profile journals such as Nature Materials, Materials Today, and Chemical Reviews. He has been an instructor of the OSU Corrosion Short Course since 2021. He is an Associate Editor of npj Materials Degradation. His research has received funding support from multiple government agencies and industrial partners.
