Lin Research Highlights
EHSRC Role(s): Member, Environmental Modeling and Assessment Facility

Dr. Lin's field of knowledge includes four-dimensional data assimilation, large-eddy simulation, lattice-Boltzmann method for microfluidics, turbulence dynamics, and high performance parallel computing. He is currently conducting research in turbulent flow in complex geometry, four-dimensional assimilation of atmospheric lidar data, gas transport and aerosol deposition in the lungs, fluid-structure interaction, and TeraGrid computing.
