Ke Wu (born 9 December 1962) is a professor and researcher in electrical engineering. He currently works at the Ecole Polytechnique [1] [2] in Montreal,and is a Tier-I Canada Research Chair [3] in radio-frequency (RF) and millimetre-wave engineering.
He is active in the following areas of research:microwave and millimeter wave (components,devices,receiver/transmitter);characterization and measurement of dielectric materials;fast electronics (fast logic circuits,interconnects);superconductors (circuits,applications);numerical modeling (CAD,electromagnetic fields);and optoelectronics (photonics components,broadband transmission). [4]
Wu is the director of the Poly-Grames Research Center, [4] founding director of the Canadian university-industry consortium,Facility for Advanced Millimetre-wave Engineering and the Center for Radiofrequency Electronics Research of Quebec.[ clarification needed ] He was elected an IEEE Fellow in 2001. [5]
In 2020,the National Post published an article stating that Wu is also a researcher at several universities in China,with at least one position being full-time;the National Post also noted that he had in 2011 been a delegate to the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC),and an advisor to the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office of the Chinese Communist Party's United Front Work Department. [1] Wu subsequently objected to suggestions that he had a parallel academic career in China,calling them "absolute nonsense",and stated that his students would often add his name to other projects exaggerating his role in order to obtain funding. [6] He also said that his role with the CPPCC had been as an "observer". [6]
