Faculty
Yufeng Lin is an associate professor in the Department of Earth and Space Sciences at SUSTech. He obtained his Bachelor's degree in Geophysics from the Wuhan University in 2007, and his Master's degree from Peking University in 2010. He then moved to the Institute of Geophysics at ETH Zurich, Switzerland, for his PhD, and completed in March 2015. Prior to joining SUSTech in September 2018, he was a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics (DAMTP) at the University of Cambridge, UK. Dr Lin's research interests are planetary dynamos, fluid dynamics of planetary interiors and tidal interactions in exoplanetary systems.
