Dr. Wu specializes in coastal engineering, estuarine hydrodynamics, and fluvial-coastal engineering interaction. He has over 40 years of professional experience in coastal flood hazard analysis beach erosion and sediment transport analysis numerical modeling of ocean current, wind-wave, storm surge, coastal process, and dredge disposal and extensive technical analyses for harbor, breakwater, and outfall designs. He has contributed over 100 technical reports and papers He spent 12 years working with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Before his retirement in 2014, he served as a regional technical specialist participating in conceptual layout and computer simulation for coastal ecosystem restorations of San Elijo Lagoon and Morro Bay developed a 3-D coastal sediment transport model implementation and application plans for Ocean Beach, Noyo Harbor, and Humboldt Bay managed a 3-D hydrodynamic and salinity modeling project for Sacramento and San Francisco Bay to Stockton Deep Water Ship Channels and led coastal modeling and statistical analysis for the South San Francisco Bay Shoreline Study. He was an adjunct faculty at California State Polytechnic University at Pomona, California, teaching coastal engineering and environmental fluid mechanics. Dr. Wu holds a BS degree from National Taiwan University and MS and Ph.D. degrees from Stanford University.
