Research Interests
Dr. Lin’s research areas include Natural Hazards and Risk Analysis, Wind Engineering, Coastal Engineering, and Climate Change Impact and Adaptation. Her current primary focus is hurricane risk analysis. She integrates science, engineering, and policy to study hurricane-related weather extremes (strong winds, heavy rainfall, and storm surges), how they change with changing climate, and how their impact on society can be better mitigated. Dr. Lin has led a NSF CAREER project and a multi-institutional NSF Hazards SEEs project on hurricane hazards and risk in a changing climate.
