Assistant Professor
Biography
Dr. Shaoting Lin earned his Ph.D. degree (2019) at MIT and got his M.S. degree (2013) and B.S. degree (2010) at Tsinghua University. Dr. Lin has been devoted to understanding the processing-structure-property relationships of soft materials and inventing versatile high-performing soft materials with diverse engineering applications, including a mechanically-trained artificial muscle that resists crack propagation using aligned nanofibrils, a similar toughening mechanism in skeleton muscles (PNAS, 116, 21, 2019); an ingestible and expanding pill that monitors the stomach for up to a month (Nat. Commun., 10, 2019); a gelatin-like material that mimics lobster underbelly’s stretch and strength (Matter, 4, 6, 2021), a stretchable anti-fogging tape that enables fog-free glasses, protective goggles, and efficient solar-powered freshwater production (Adv. Funct. Mater., 31, 36, 2021); and a wearable smart wound dressing that senses temperature, lights up, and delivers medicine to the skin (Adv. Mater., 28, 22, 2021).
With his focus on inventing high-performing soft materials, he will be part of the vibrant community of Spartan engineers designing human-centered and environmentally benign intelligent materials for developing technologies in healthcare and water-energy nexus.
