Biography

Dr. Tse-Huai (Roy) Wu is a Professor of the Practice in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at UMBC. He served as the department’s Undergraduate Program Director from January 2023 to August 2026. His expertise spans robotics, embedded systems, digital twins, guidance, navigation, and control (GN&C), and engineering education. Prior to joining UMBC in 2020, he was a software engineer in the medical device industry, where he developed IMU- and vision-based surgical navigation systems using modern C++. He received his Ph.D. in 2016 and M.S. in 2013 in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering from the George Washington University, and his B.S. in 2008 from National Tsing Hua University in Taiwan.
