Biography
Dr. Chung-Tse Michael Wu’s research interests span applied electromagnetics, antennas, passive and active microwave and millimeter-wave components, monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs), RF systems, and metamaterials. He received his B.S. degree from National Taiwan University (NTU) in 2006 and his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), in 2009 and 2014, respectively.
From 2014 to 2017, Dr. Wu was an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan. In 2017, he joined Rutgers University as an Assistant Professor and was promoted to tenured Associate Professor in 2022. He joined National Taiwan University as an Associate Professor in 2024 and was promoted to Professor in 2026.
Dr. Wu is a member of the IEEE Microwave Theory and Technology Society Technical Committees MTT-28 and MTT-4. He has received numerous awards and honors, including the National Science Foundation (NSF) Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Award and the Wayne State University College of Engineering Faculty Research Excellence Award in 2016, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Young Faculty Award (YFA) in 2019, the DARPA Director’s Fellowship Award in 2021, the Rutgers University Board of Trustees Research Fellowship for Scholarly Excellence in 2022, and the IEEE Microwave Theory and Technology Society (MTT-S) Outstanding Young Engineer Award in 2024.
Dr. Wu serves as an IEEE Microwave Theory and Technology Society Distinguished Microwave Lecturer (DML) for the 2025–2027 term. He is also an Associate Editor for IEEE Microwave and Wireless Technology Letters, the IEEE Journal of Electromagnetics, RF and Microwaves in Medicine and Biology, and IEEE Access.

Sensing, Tracking, and Secured Communication with Artificial Electromagnetic Materials
Metamaterials (MTMs) are synthetic electromagnetic materials possessing unique properties not found in natural materials. Their introduction has spurred the creation of innovative circuits with enhanced components. One notable metamaterial-based design is the composite right/left-handed transmission line (CRLH-TL) leaky-wave antennas (LWAs). These antennas offer continuous frequency-dependent beam scanning from backfire to endfire with a true broadside beam. They also ensure excellent impedance matching throughout their operational range, using a straightforward feeding mechanism. The CRLH LWAs’ ability to map frequency to space means unknown target locations can simply be pinpointed by analyzing the spectral components of the returning wave. This paves the way for real-time detection, with data acquisition speeds mainly determined by the signal source’s frequency sweep rate. The sensor’s field-of-view is also expanded thanks to the wide scanning angle of CRLH LWAs. Such features enable applications like swift 2-D beamforming, expansive real-time remote sensing, vital sign monitoring, motion detection, and microwave imaging. Additionally, applying spatiotemporal modulation to CRLH LWAs can generate harmonic waves and enhance physical layer security, promoting safer wireless communication.
