Bio
Dr. Wu’s research interests include robotics, embedded systems, and guidance, navigation, and control (GN&C). He received his Ph.D. and M.S. in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering from the George Washington University, and his B.S. from National Tsing Hua University in Taiwan. In 2020, Dr. Wu joined UMBC from Clear Guide Medical, a spinout of the Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions and the Johns Hopkins University, where he applied modern C++ to the research and development of IMU- and vision-based surgical navigation devices. With several years of professional software development experience, Dr. Wu is strongly committed to integrating programming practice with classroom learning.
