Gender of Ruyan Guo

According to , the Ruyan Guo who is the Robert E. Clarke Endowed Professor at at the University of Texas, San Antonio and became an IEEE fellow in 2013, is female. I have updated the article accordingly.

Notability of Ruyan Guo

There appears to be some question of Ruyan Guo's notability. Of the criteria for the notability of academics per WP:NACADEMIC, Ruyan Guo appears to qualify unambiguously by criteria 3 (fellow of the IEEE is actually the example given!) and 5 (she holds a named chair). Given the reasons cited for her elevation to Fellow, tt seems likely that a little further research would demonstrate she qualifies under criterion 1. An academic only needs to satisfy one of these criteria to be regarded as notable.

Ruyan Guo is clearly and unambiguously notable per WP:ACADEMIC. I have removed the notability template from this page.

Proposed updates based on career developments

Ruyan Guo is an American materials scientist and electrical engineer. She is the Robert E. Clarke Jr. Endowed Distinguished Professor of Electrical Engineering and Director of the Interdisciplinary Graduate Program in Advanced Materials Engineering, in the Klesse College of Engineering and Integrated Design at the University of Texas at San Antonio (UT San Antonio).

Education Guo received a B.S. degree in electrical engineering from Xi'an Jiaotong University in 1982 and an M.S. degree in electrical engineering from the same institution in 1984. She earned a Ph.D. in Solid State Science from Pennsylvania State University in 1990.[1]

Career Following completion of her doctoral studies, Guo joined Pennsylvania State University, where she held research and faculty appointments in materials research and electrical engineering and became a tenured professor in 2004.[2] In 2007, she joined the University of Texas at San Antonio as the Robert E. Clarke Jr. Endowed Distinguished Professor.[3]

From 2019 to 2022, Guo served as a Program Director in the Division of Electrical, Communications and Cyber Systems (ECCS) of the U.S. National Science Foundation.[4]

Research Guo's research focuses on functional electronic and optoelectronic materials, particularly ferroelectric, piezoelectric, dielectric, and multiferroic systems.[5] Her research spans both fundamental materials science and applications in sensors, actuators, energy harvesting, terahertz technologies, biomedical systems, and additive manufacturing. [6] Research conducted in her laboratory led to Guinness World Records recognition for the world's smallest medical robot, a 120-nanometer magnetoelectric nanorobotic system developed with collaborators at UTSA.[7]
