Wu, Pengis an Assistant Professor at School of Electronics, Peking University. He received his Ph.D. degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Purdue University in 2021, and B.S. degree in Microelectronics from Tsinghua University in 2015. Before joining Peking University, he worked as a Postdoctoral Associate at Research Laboratory of Electronics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Dr. Wu's research interests include nanoscale transistors based on 2D materials, low-power steep-slope transistors, including tunnel FET and cold-source/Dirac-source FET, and novel computing systems based on nano materials for beyond CMOS applications, such as hardware security and in-memory computing.
