Early life and education
Wu was born in Nantou, Taiwan. After high school, he graduated from National Taiwan University with a B.S. in physics in 1975. He then earned a Ph.D. in physics from the University of Southern California in 1981.[1]
Career
Shin-Tson Wu is a Trustee chair professor at College of Optics and Photonics, University of Central Florida (UCF). His research interests at UCF focus on augmented reality and virtual reality displays, including light engines (LCOS, mini-LED, micro-LED, and OLED), optical systems (lightguide, diffractive optics, and projection optics), and display materials (liquid crystals, quantum dots, and perovskites).
He was the founding Editor-In-Chief of the IEEE/OSA Journal of Display Technology, SID Honors and Awards Committee chair, and Optica (formerly OSA) publications council chair and board of directors.
