Wah-Kwan Ku, Ph.D

Dr. Ku was born and raised in Hong Kong. In 2004, Dr. Ku went to Indiana University for graduate school with his PhD thesis titled "A dense G-delta set of Riemannian metrics without the finite blocking property". After getting his PhD, he has taught at St. Louis University and Penn State Berks before joining UIW. Besides teaching, he enjoys Latin dancing and swimming.
