Changfeng Wu completed his Physics PhD in 2004 at Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics, and Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences. He earned his PhD in Chemistry at the group of Prof. Jason McNeill from Clemson University in 2008.  He then carried out postdoctoral research with Prof. Daniel T. Chiu at University of Washington.  He started his independent research at Jilin University in 2012.  He joined the faculty in Department of Biomedical Engineering at Southern University of Science and Technology. His research is focused on the development of fluorescent probes, biosensors, spectroscopic and imaging techniques for biomedical applications. He has published more than 120 peer-reviewed papers with a total citations of ~6000 times.
