Sean Wu, has been selected as the Inaugural Zhe Ke Zhen Distinguished Alumni Lecturer sponsored by Zhejiang University Education Foundation and will deliver three lectures at his alma mater, Zhejiang University, China on March 14, 2012. His "Rekindling Your Imagination" is to be given to all undergraduate students across the campus. In particular, he will give demos of his several recently developed technologies for locating arbitrary sound sources in 3D space in real time, and for extracting target information from contaminated data. The goal of this talk is to inspire students to get involved in innovative research early on in their programs.
- Sean Wu was featured on examiner.com for developing noise-quiting technology with spinoff company SenSound.
