Rate My Professor Xiaoyu Wu

Dr. Xiaoyu Wu serves as a lecturer in the School of Engineering and Built Environment at Griffith University, within Griffith Aviation in the Civil and Environmental Engineering section. He earned his PhD in Aviation from Saint Louis University Parks College of Engineering, Aviation, and Technology in 2018, a Master of Science in Aeronautics from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, and an undergraduate degree in Engineering from the Civil Aviation Flight University of China. His early career included internships as an air traffic controller at the Air Traffic Control Bureau of Eastern China and at the Florida NextGen Test Bed, a Federal Aviation Administration research facility, where he participated in NextGen projects on flight data object exchange and air traffic flow management. Dr. Wu possesses extensive industrial and research experience in air traffic control, airspace operation, airport modeling, and safety management.

Dr. Wu's research specializations encompass aviation machine learning and AI applications, data science, air traffic management, airspace and terminal procedure design, next generation national airspace systems, aviation-wildlife coexistence, cockpit culture formation, machine learning applications in pilot training, and the use of weather radar data to monitor bird activities for mitigating bird-UAV conflict risks and assessing birdstrike hazards for airport locations. He has contributed to publications such as 'Aviation Education Impacts on Cockpit Culture of Chinese Student Pilots' (2020, Journal of Aviation/Aerospace Education & Research). As founder and CEO of Scientist with Wings, he organizes seminars fostering interdisciplinary dialogue among academics, the aviation industry, and the public. Dr. Wu convenes courses including Aerodynamics Part II (3520NSC) and Airways Operation and Design (1508NSC), and collaborates on projects like Griffith Sciences Collaborative Research Summer Scholarships using weather radar for birdstrike hotspots.
