Xingwei Guo  received a Ph.D. degree in Chemistry from LMU Munich, Germany (2014), under the supervision of Herbert Mayr. After postdoctoral research experiences at CNRS-École Polytechnique with Samir Z. Zard (2014–2015) and at the University of Basel with Oliver S. Wenger (2015–2019), he started his independent career as a principal investigator in the Center of Basic Molecular Science (CBMS), Department of Chemistry, at Tsinghua University, Beijing (2019).

The focus of his research is on developing new physical organic chemistry tools and state-of-the-art scientific instruments to solve fundamental problems in light-induced electron transfer and molecular transformations, particularly in transient characterization of radical intermediates and their reactivities.
