Biography

Jung-Fu Lin is a Professor at the Jackson School of Geosciences, University of Texas at Austin, holding the Dave P. Carlton Centennial Professorship in Geology. His primary research focuses on understanding the nature of Earth's planetary interiors through direct examination of the properties of planetary materials under high pressure and temperature conditions. He investigates crystal structures, phase relations, and physical transport properties, employing high-pressure diamond anvil cell techniques in combination with synchrotron-based facilities. His studies enhance the overall understanding of the Earth's mantle and core and involve advanced techniques in mineral physics and X-ray laser spectroscopy. Lin has received various prestigious awards and fellowships throughout his career, including the NSF CAREER Award in 2011 and the Lawrence Livermore Fellowship from 2005 to 2008. He has guided numerous graduate students in their advanced research in mineral physics, contributing significantly to the field through both his teaching and research efforts.
