Dr. Lin is a Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Electromechanical Engineering at the National Sun Yat-sen University, Taiwan and also the Principal investigator of the Biomimicry and Engineering Laboratory. Dr. Lin conducts research on mechatronics design, human-machine systems, assist devices, sensors and bioengineering. The aim of his laboratory is to develop bio-inspired technologies, which mimic similar functions, characterisations and performances from nature, for solving our human social problems. Dr. Lin holds a doctorate from the Department of Engineering, University of Cambridge, and has over 15 years of mechanical engineering experience. Before joining the National Sun Yat-sen University, Taiwan, he worked at the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI), Taiwan, WPI Advanced Institute for Materials Research (WPI-AIMR), Tohoku University, Japan, and the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS), Japan, for several research projects, including designs and fabrications of MEMS devices and sensors. He holds over thirty innovation patents and has published over fifty articles.
Current research includes two categories, which are the design and fabrication of the assistive robotic suit for agricultural applications and the development of the biocompatible materials for biomedical applications. Dr Lin led his team to successfully develop an assistive robotic suit which can enhance the extremity strength of the upper limb and reduce fatigue during fruit farming. The developed upper limb robotic suit could save over 50 per cent of muscle strength consumption in the grape pruning jobs for elderly farmers. The bioengineering team mainly focuses on developing the smart wound healing dressing, which includes several characteristics such as the bioinspired artificial microstructure surfaces and nanofibrous scaffolds. The physically modified surfaces of polymetric dressing could improve the wound healing rate. About BEing2 Lab: Assistant: 2 http://140.117.6.215/
