Biography
Dr. Kaisen Lin is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE). He leads research activities of the Lin Aerosol Lab, which studies the environmental behavior of bioaerosols and the lung deposition of inhalable particles. Specifically, the lab studies (1) the emission, transport, and decay of airborne pathogens, and (2) the deposition location and dose of particulate ... matter in human respiratory tracts. Results from the group will advance understanding on human exposure to air pollutants and help address health-related air pollution issues. Beyond his research activities, Dr. Lin has been recognized for his efforts in the classroom though recognition by the American Society of Civil Engineers as an Excellence in Civil Engineering Education (ExCEEd) fellow, and his selection by CEE students as a Withrow Teaching Excellence Award winner.
