Highlight
Wu is from Nanjing, China, where he grew up in a non-believing family. His first encounter with Christianity occurred after moving to the United States. Wu became a follower of Christ while pursuing his Ph.D. at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Upon completing his doctorate, he served as a Lab Manager at Oklahoma State University for four years, overseeing high-value instruments and enjoying the process of teaching students how to use them. This experience ignited his passion for teaching, leading him to a five-year teaching as an associate professor in Chemistry at Butler Community College. During his Ph.D. studies, Wu was blessed to meet his wife, Jing, and together they have two daughters. Outside of work, Wu cherishes spending time with his family, experiencing American culture, and participating in church activities.
