Jun Wu is an associate professor at Delft University of Technology, the Netherlands. Before joining TU Delft in Sep. 2016, he was a HC Ørsted postdoc fellow at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, DTU Denmark. He obtained his PhD in Computer Science in 2015 from TU Munich, Germany, and a PhD in Mechanical Engineering in 2012 from Beihang University, China. 

His research focuses on computational design and digital fabrication, with an emphasis on topology optimization (which is sometimes referred to as generative design). His work received best paper awards at international conferences including the Symposium on Solid and Physical Modeling in 2019, the World Congress of Structural and Multidisciplinary Optimization in 2019, and the inaugural International Congress of Basic Science in 2023. He received Young Investigator Awards from the Solid Modelling Association in 2021 and the International Society for Structural and Multidisciplinary Optimization in 2023. He is on the editorial board of Computer-Aided Design (Elsevier) and Structural and Multidisciplinary Optimization (Springer). In 2023, he was awarded a Vidi grant from the Dutch Research Council (NWO) to develop the research direction of space-time topology optimization for additive manufacturing.
