As co-founder of 3DSP, Lu brings extensive experience in DSP and microprocessor architectures, as well as high-speed circuit design. As chief chief technical officer for 3DSP, Lu oversees the technical direction for the company. Lu's goal in co-founding 3DSP in 1997 was to design the next generation of high-speed, low-power digital processor core for the emerging IP market.

Prior to co-founding 3DSP, Lu was senior design engineer at Texas Instruments, where he was instrumental in high-speed circuit design for next generation high-performance digital signal processor, as well as the company's development of the X86 project. At Digital Equipment, he worked on the 600MHz 4-way super scalar Alpha microprocessor, the highest performance microprocessor in the world at the time.

Lu has two patents pending on high-speed circuit design and has written six papers on low-power circuit design, solid state physics and semiconductors laser designs. Lu developed innovative InGaP/GaAs semiconductor technology used in Semiconductor Quantum-Well Lasers. He also developed the world's fastest floating multiplier at DEC.

Lu earned a bachelor of science and master of science degrees in electrical engineering and computer science from Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
