S. David Wu is dean of the P.C. Rossin College of Engineering and Applied Science at Lehigh University, where he holds the Lee A. Iacocca endowed chair. Wu was appointed dean of the engineering college in 2004. A well-known scholar in operations research, he specializes in optimization, game theory and statistical analysis. He has received significant support for his research from the National Science Foundation (NSF), U.S. Department of Defense, Semiconductor Research Corp. and Sandia National Laboratories. Wu’s work in the high-tech industry has been widely recognized and cited, earning best paper awards and significant media coverage. He was a finalist for the 2009 Daniel H. Wagner Prize for Excellence in Operations Research Practice, and his work has been tested or implemented at firms such as Intel, Infineon, Freescale, Lucent, and IBM. An IIE fellow, Wu has published more than 100 scholarly papers and served as editor or editorial board member on many journals in his field. His articles have been published in Operations Research, Management Science, IIE Transactions and Naval Research Logistics, and he co-edited the best-selling book Handbook of Quantitative Supply Chain Analysis with David Simchi-Levi and Max Shen.
Spearheading the development and implementation of the Lehigh Engineering’s strategic plan, Elevating Engineering Excellence via Multidisciplinary Innovation, Wu helped reinvent and develop one of the most prestigious and reputable engineering schools in the United States. Leveraging and transforming its long-standing strengths in material science, structural engineering, microelectronics and systems engineering, the college pursues a progressive research and educational agenda designed to create new knowledge that makes direct societal impact in addressing the grand challenges of our time: health and healthcare delivery, energy and the environment, and sustainable infrastructure systems.
Wu has served on various national and international panels such as NSF and the Science Foundation of Ireland. He currently serves on the board of overseers for Dartmouth College’s Thayer School of Engineering, the engineering advisory board for the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), and the expert review panels for the Science & Engineering Research Council of Singapore. Wu received his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from Pennsylvania State University in 1987. He was a visiting professor at the University of Pennsylvania and HKUST.
