Dr Wu received his BEng degree in Chemical Engineering and Technique from South China University of Technology in 2014. He obtained his PhD in Mechanical Engineering from The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) in 2018 and then worked as a Postdoctoral Fellow at the same department. Prior to joining PolyU in 2021, he served as a Research Assistant Professor at the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at HKUST.

Dr Wu’s research interests are in the broad area of electrochemical energy storage and conversion technologies, especially flow batteries, metal-air batteries, aqueous zinc batteries and solid-state lithium batteries. He focuses on understanding the coupled heat/mass/ion transfer and electrochemical reactions phenomena to create innovative solutions to develop safer, more efficient, more powerful and durable batteries for a sustainable future.
