|
Prior to joining UCF in 2001, Dr. Wu worked at Hughes Research Laboratories (Malibu, California) for 18 years. He received his Ph.D. in Quantum Electronics, University of Southern California, and BS in Physics from National Taiwan University. His research at UCF focuses in five areas: 1. Adaptive lenses,
2. Laser beam steering,
3. Liquid crystal displays,
4. Liquid crystal materials, and
5. Liquid crystal-filled photonic crystal fibers. Dr. Wu is a Fellow of the IEEE, OSA, SID, and SPIE. He is a recipient of the 2008 SPIE G. G. Stokes award and 2008 SID Jan Rajchman prize. He was the founding chief editor of the IEEE/OSA Journal of Display Technology. Dr. Wu has co-authored 5 books: "Introduction to Flat Panel Displays" (Wiley, 2008), "Fundamentals of Liquid Crystal Devices (Wiley, 2006), "Introduction to Microdisplays" (Wiley, 2006), "Reflective Liquid Crystal Displays" (Wiley, 2001), and "Optics and Nonlinear Optics of Liquid Crystals" (World Scientific, 1993), 6 book chapters, over 300 journal papers, and 80 issued and pending patents. Several of his patents have been implemented in displays and photonic devices.
