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]

Roles[]

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]

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.[5] He also said that his role with the CPPCC had been as an "observer".[5]

Awards[]

Wu has received awards and prizes such as a URSI Young Scientist Award, the Oliver Lodge Premium Award from the Institution of Electrical Engineers of London (IEE), the Asia-Pacific Microwave Prize, the Prix Poly 1873 pour l'Excellence en recherche – the Top University Research Award from the Ecole Polytechnique, and the Urgel-Archambault Prize in the field of Physical Sciences, Mathematics and Engineering of the French-Canadian Association for the Advancement of Science (ACFAS).[citation needed] He was elected an IEEE Fellow in 2001.[6]
