Yueyu Lin

Nijmegen, Netherlands

Hi, my name is Yueyu Lin. I’m originally from China and received my bachelor’s degree in 2018 and master’s degree in 2021 from South China Normal University. I am now a Physics PhD candidate in the Life Science Trace Gas Facility & Trace Gas Research Group at Radboud University, under the supervision of Prof. Simona M. Cristescu.

Bachelor (2014 - 2018). I studied Electronics Science and Technology at the Department of Physics and Telecommunication Engineering, South China Normal University. From 2016 to 2018, I joined the research group of Prof. Zhang Han, where our team won several awards, including the second prize of the 15th National Challenge Cup and the first prize of the Guangdong Electronic Design Contest, and filed six patents. Our team was recognized as the Best Innovation Team of South China Normal University in 2018.

Master (2018 - 2021). I continued at SCNU in the Applied Molecular Spectroscopy and Remote Sensing Group, co-supervised by Prof. Katarina Svanberg and Prof. Sune Svanberg. In my second year, I was an exchange student for six months at the Lund Laser Centre in Lund, Sweden, working with Dr. Patrik Lundin, Dr. Emilie Krite Svanberg, and Dr. Anna-Lena Sahlberg on gas in scattering media absorption spectroscopy for lung diagnostics. After returning to China, I co-authored further work on optical detection of disease-carrying mosquitoes. By the end of my master’s, I had five publications and one patent.

PhD (2022 - present). I am currently pursuing my PhD at Radboud University, working on mid-infrared broadband supercontinuum and upconversion spectroscopy for multispecies trace gas detection, with applications ranging from human breath analysis to greenhouse gas monitoring at wastewater treatment plants and methane emissions from dairy cows.

You can also find me on ResearchGate.
