About

Yingying Guo is a leading researcher in the field of micro- and nano-scale acoustic sensing, with a primary focus on advancing underwater detection technologies through innovative photonic and MEMS-based platforms. Her most notable contribution is the development of polymer-based microring resonators (MRRs) integrated on a multiscale MEMS–nanoimprint platform, which significantly enhances the sensitivity and bandwidth of underwater acoustic detection while reducing fabrication complexity and cost. This work, published in 2025, addresses critical challenges in traditional MRR-based sensors—namely low sensitivity and high manufacturing costs—by introducing a composite diaphragm design that amplifies acoustic signal transduction. Although early in its citation impact, this paper represents a breakthrough in scalable, high-performance acoustic sensing. Guo’s research bridges the gap between nanophotonics and practical underwater applications, offering promising pathways for sonar, environmental monitoring, and marine exploration. Her work is distinguished by its interdisciplinary approach, combining materials engineering, nanoimprint lithography, and acoustic physics. For students and researchers, Guo exemplifies how integrating novel fabrication techniques with photonic design can solve real-world sensing challenges, making her a rising figure in the MEMS and nanophotonics community.
