Wu is a physical oceanographer. Currently he is the associate director of State Key Laboratory of Estuarine and Coastal Research. In the past 5 years his works answered the long-lasting questions on the puzzling dynamic behaviors of Changjiang River plume in its alongshore and cross-shelf transports, and the unique tidal effects was highlighted for the first time. These works are immediately recognized by the research community and have received considerable citations. His technique approaches include both numerical and observational methods. In the numerical part, he developed the novel advection scheme HSIMT that can sufficiently remove the numerical dissipation and oscillations. HSIMT now has been an option of COAWST that is maintained by USGS. In the observational part, he developed a phasing-averaging method that can remove the tidal oscillations from the cruise ADCP currents. His current work concentrates on the physical-biogeochemical interactions, attempting to find the linkage between spatiotemporal characteristics of primitive production and the complicated dynamic processes in the East China Sea.
