Liang-Chun Lin

Chemical physicist with 10+ years of hands-on experience in designing and integrating complex optical light sources into chemical and biological systems in gas, solution, and solid phases for ultrafast, real-time, and steady-state measurements. I enjoy working, thinking, and creating with people from different backgrounds!
