Dr. Lin received her B.S. and Ph.D. degrees from Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU) in 2013 and 2018, respectively, and worked as a joint postdoctoral fellow at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) and SJTU from 2018 to 2021. Her current research interests include surface-enhanced Raman scattering as a bioimaging modality for in vivo surgical navigation, or as an optical platform to study biomaterial interfaces. She has developed transmission Raman tomography techniques for three-dimensional in vivo Raman imaging (IVRI). Dr. Lin has received a number of awards, including Shanghai Chenguang (Young scholar) Program (2021), Best Paper Award at IMCO-2019 International Conference (2019), and Best Paper nomination Award at IEEE 3M-Nano conference (2021).
