Professional Experience:
Dr. Lin started her academic career as an assistant professor in the Thermal Engineering Department at Beijing University of Technology after she received her B.S. in Thermal Engineering. She received her Ph.D. degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Maine, and worked as an adjunct professor for the Department of Engineering at Maine Maritime Academy. She has taught a wide range of courses in Mechanical Engineering. In September 2011, Dr. Lin joined the Department of Engineering at the University of Southern Maine. Dr. Lin’s research interests mainly focus on non-destructive testing and material characterization using ultrasonic wave. Her current research on permeability measurement using ultrasonic slow wave can be applied to a wide range of applications from biopharmaceuticals to oil refining. This technique also plays important role in new energy studying such as geothermal energy, fuel cell etc. In addition to the investigation of waves in porous materials, Dr. Lin is also interested in other diverse fields: experimental constitutive properties and characterization of general materials, high temperature acoustics, and biomechanics of animals are also of research interests.
