Lab/ Center/ Institute affiliation:

  • Syracuse Center of Excellence in Energy and Environmental Systems – Analysis and Design Center

Areas of Expertise:

  • Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
  • Turbomachinery Design and Performance Analysis
  • Air Purification, Ventilation, and Indoor Air Quality (IAQ)
  • Airborne Pathogen Transmission Risk Mitigation

Professor Lin specializes in computational fluid dynamics, turbomachinery design and performance analysis, with a particular focus on the interaction between turbomachinery and flow resistance systems to enhance pressure rise and energy efficiency. His expertise extends to improving indoor air quality through the development and optimization of ventilation and air purification systems, including technologies such as UV germicidal irradiation, photocatalytic oxidation, and ionization systems. Dr. Lin actively researches strategies to mitigate airborne pathogen transmission risks in indoor environments, employing both experimental analyses and modeling approaches to devise effective solutions.

Honors and Awards:

  • 2019 Research Excellence Doctoral Funding (REDF) Fellowship
