Biography

Dr Zi Lin is a Senior Lecturer at Northumbria University. She holds a PhD degree in Engineering from the University of Strathclyde (UK); an MSc in Civil Engineering and a BEng (Hons) in Mechanical Engineering, both from Dalian University of Technology (China). Prior to Northumbria, she was a Research Fellow at the University of Strathclyde and Cranfield University.

Her main area of expertise is regarding fluid mechanics and offshore renewable energy systems (wind, wave and solar energy), focusing on the dynamics of renewable energy system modelling through the advanced numerical method and artificial intelligence algorithm. She has published more than 30 peer-reviewed international journals and conference papers and serves as a reviewer for top-rated journals.

To be involved in the energy sector outside of academia, she is a recognized professional in Project Management, who is licensed as a PRINCE2 Practitioner and have full membership at AXELOS.
