Biography
He received his B.S. degree from National Taiwan University, and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from UC Berkeley in 1983, 1985, and 1988, respectively, all in Electrical Engineering. Before joining the faculty of UC Berkeley, Dr. Wu was a Member of Technical Staff at AT&T Bell Laboratories, Murray Hill, from 1988 to 1992, and Professor of Electrical Engineering at UCLA from 1993 to 2004. He also held the position of Director of Nanoelectronics Research Facility and Vice Chair for Industrial Relations during his tenure at UCLA. In 1997, Dr. Wu co-founded OMM in San Diego, CA, to commercialize MEMS optical switches.
Dr. Wu has published over 400 papers, contributed 5 book chapters, and holds 11 U.S. patents. He is a David and Lucile Packard Foundation Fellow (1992-1997), and an IEEE Fellow. Dr. Wu was the founding Co-Chair of IEEE LEOS Summer Topical Meeting on Optical MEMS (1996), the predecessor of IEEE/LEOS International Conference on Optical MEMS. He has also served in the program committees of many technical conferences, including MEMS, OFC, CLEO, LEOS, MWP, IEDM, DRC, ISSCC; and as Guest Editor of two special issues of IEEE journals on Optical MEMS.
