Tongyan Lin

Tongyan Lin works in theoretical particle physics and cosmology, studying models of dark matter and methods to detect the particle properties of dark matter. She works on a variety of possible signatures of dark matter, including in astrophysical data or in underground direct detection experiments. Currently, Dr. Lin is an Associate Professor of Physics at the University of California, San Diego. She obtained her Ph.D. from Harvard University in 2012 and was previously a postdoctoral researcher at the Kavli Institute for Cosmological Physics in the University of Chicago and at the University of California, Berkeley. She is also a recipient of the Sloan Research Fellowship Award, Macronix Young Research Award, and DOE Early Career Award.
