He had postgraduate ORL-HNS & Thyroid Surgery training at KMU, Taiwan, and Massachusetts Eye and Ear (MEEI), Boston.  

Professor Wu is a Board Member of the International Neural Monitoring Study Group (INMSG), a Council member of the Asia-Pacific Society of Thyroid Surgery (APTS), a Director of Taiwan Head and Neck Society (THNS) & Taiwan Society of Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery (TSOHNS), and the Editorial Board Member of several journals, including The Laryngoscope, Frontiers in Surgery, Translational Oncology, Cancer Treatment, and Research Communications, etc. 

Professor Wu's research has been instrumental in the field of thyroid surgery, particularly in the application of intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) to prevent recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) and external branch of superior laryngeal nerve (EBSLN) injury. His team's work, which includes the development of an experimental animal model using continuous IONM to investigate the mechanisms of RLN injury and creating several novel techniques during IONM, has significantly advanced our understanding and practice in this area.
