Yue Wu

Yue Wu is the Kenan Distinguished Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. His research focuses on nanoscale fluid physics, glass transition phenomena, and NMR-based materials characterization.

• Member of APS, MRS, and AAAS
• Elected Fellow of the American Physical Society

Research interests include:

• Nanoconfined liquids and gases: anomalous properties in micropores
• Protein interactions with nanomaterial surfaces
• Thermodynamics of supercooled metallic liquids

His group develops innovative NMR techniques for high-pressure, high-temperature, and electrochemical studies. Publications emphasize applications in hydrogen storage, supercapacitors, and anesthetic mechanisms. Recent work explores metal-organic frameworks, dielectric contrast agents, and electrochemical nanopore dynamics.
