Wu-Sheng Lu received his undergraduate education in mathematics from Fudan University, Shanghai, China, from 1959 to 1964, the M.S. degree in electrical engineering, and the Ph.D. degree in control science from the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, USA, in 1983 and 1984, respectively.
He was a post-doctoral fellow at the University of Victoria, Victoria, B.C., Canada, in 1985 and was a visiting assistant professor at the University of Minnesota from January 1986 to April 1987. In May 1987, he joined the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department, University of Victoria, as an associate professor, and has been professor there since 1991. His current research interests include analysis and design of digital filters; digital signal and image processing with a focus on sparse signal processing and compressive sensing; and methods and applications of nummerical optimization. He is the co-author with A. Antoniou of Two-Dimensional Digital Filters (Marcel Dekker, 1992) and Practical Optimization: Algorithms and Engineering Applications (Springer, 2007).
Dr. Lu has held guest professor positions at several academic institutions, including the National Taiwan University (1996), Hiroshima University, Japan (1998, 2002), Tampere University of Technology, Finland (2002), and the East China Normal University, China (1998 - present). He served as an Associate Editor of the Canadian Journal of Electrical and Computer Engineering in 1989, and was Editor of the same journal from 1990 to 1992. He was an Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems II from 1993 to 1995, for IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems I from 1999 to 2001 and from 2004 to 2005, for the Internationall Journal of Multidimensional Systems and Signal Processing from 1997 to 2006, and for the Journal of Circuits, Systems, and Signal Processing from 2009 to 2011.Dr. Lu received several awards for his teaching at University of Victoria. He was elected Fellow of the Engineering Institute of Canada in 1994. In 1999, Dr. Lu was elected Fellow of the IEEE for contributions to the analysis and design of multidimensional and multirate digital filters and discrete systems. He became a Life Fellow of the IEEE in 2012.
