Minghao Guo, Ph.D.

Minghao Guo is a postdoctoral fellow at Columbia University working with Greg Bryan. He completed his Ph.D. in astrophysical sciences at Princeton University in 2026, advised by Eliot Quataert and James Stone. He previously received his B.A. in physics from Peking University in 2021.

Guo is a computational astrophysicist whose research spans black hole physics, high-energy astrophysics, and the multiscale dynamics of accretion flows and feedback in galaxies. Using large-scale numerical simulations, he studies how black holes grow and launch outflows, how these processes couple to galactic environments, and how high-energy phenomena influence galaxy evolution. He also develops new computational methods to bridge the wide range of spatial and temporal scales connecting event-horizon physics to galaxy-scale dynamics.
