Prof. Xianyu Wu received his B.S. degree from the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from North Carolina State University in Mechanical Engineering, in 2014 and 2018. His lab works on the fundamental understanding of optical sensing and imaging in precision measurement systems, and the application of this knowledge towards problems in non-destructive testing, structural health monitoring, and rapid diagnostics for mechanical systems. His research team is particularly interested in developing next-generation optical measurement and imaging systems that combine advances in hardware and software.
