Yue Guo

Assistant Professor @ UIUC. Previously: UW/AI2/Google/MSR/JHU.

I am an Assistant Professor in the School of Information Sciences (iSchool) at the University of Illinois Urbana–Champaign (UIUC), with an affiliated faculty position in the Department of Computer Science.

I earned my Ph.D. in Health Informatics from the University of Washington, working under the mentorship of Trevor Cohen. Before that, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. I hold a Master’s degree in Epidemiology from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and an M.B.B.S. degree (equivalent to an M.D.) from Capital Medical University.

My research broadly focuses on natural language processing in the medical domain, with a particular interest in enhancing the accessibility and personalization of health information through NLP methodologies.

I will be recruiting multiple PhD students from the iSchool and CS programs starting in Fall 2025. If you’re interested in working with me, please fill out this form.
