Research Area：

Dr. Wu’s research focuses on biology and management strategies of crop insect pests, including migratory biology, integrated pest management (IPM) strategy of cotton insect pests, impacts of Bt transgenic cotton on evolution of pest status in agricultural ecosystem, and insect resistance management (IRM) strategy of cotton bollworm / pink bollworm to Bt cotton. These IPM/IRM strategies, in applying the principle of agro-ecology and moving towards the concept of a sustainable agriculture, have been widely used for insect pest management in Chinese agricultural system, which play very important roles in reducing the utilization of insecticides and improving economic output of cotton in China.

He has been the Principal Investigator of twenty major research projects sponsored by China Ministry of Science and Technology, China Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, and the National Natural Science Foundation of China. He received three awards at the national level for his contribution to agricultural science. He has published more than 200 academic articles in scientific journals including Science, Nature, Nature Biotechnology, PNAS and Annual Review of Entomology etc. In pursuing scientific research, Dr. Wu has mentored and nurtured more than twenty doctoral students, fifteen master students and ten postdoctoral fellows. In 1998, The State Council recognized his contribution by awarding him life-time special stipend. In 1999, The Ministry of Agriculture honored Dr. Wu as an Outstanding Young Scholar. He received the Science & Technology Award for Chinese Youth in 2006. He also won a grant for National Outstanding Youth Scientist from National Natural Science Foundation in 2006. In 2010, he was honored as the National Outstanding Science and Technology Scientist by China Society and Technology Association.
