Wu spent much of her career as a researcher at the Microelectronics Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. In the 1960s, she led the team that developed the silicon planar high-speed switch transistor. She also successfully developed media isolating digital circuit and high impedance operating amplifier's simulation circuit.
Wu took the lead in the country breaking the situation of inferior LSI. Following that, she successfully developed 16Kb and 64Kb dynamic RAM. Wu also successfully developed dual-layer polysilicon and differential oxidation technology. At present, she is engaged in the research of gallium arsenide microwave ICs and photoelectric modules.
Wu was elected to the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1991.
