Summary
Lin Zhu is a research engineer with 11 years of experience specializing in synchrotron-based soft X-ray and low-energy electron microscopy, instrumentation development, and UHV systems. Based in Lund and working at MAX IV Laboratory and Lund University, Lin has a strong track record commissioning complex instruments (including a time-resolved spin-polarized LEEM built during their PhD) and integrating control systems using Tango Controls, LabVIEW, Python and C++. They bridge hands-on optics and vacuum hardware—femtosecond lasers, SEM/TEM, STM adapters and SolidWorks designs—with advanced data analysis and user support in large-scale facilities. Comfortable leading independent projects or collaborating in multidisciplinary teams, Lin is particularly adept at quickly mastering and automating novel scientific equipment. An uncommon strength is the combination of deep surface-physics expertise and practical control-software development for synchrotron and ultrafast microscopy platforms.
