Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMin-kai Lin is an associate research fellow and theoretical astrophysicist with 12 years of research experience focused on astrophysical fluid dynamics, planet formation, and accretion disk theory. Trained at the University of Cambridge (PhD, Astrophysics), he has held postdoctoral positions in Canada and the United States before returning to lead research at Academia Sinica in Taiwan. His work blends numerical simulations with analytical methods to probe instabilities and transport processes in disks, translating complex theory into testable predictions. Based in New Taipei, he combines deep theoretical insight with practical computational skill, often developing bespoke simulation tools rather than relying solely on off-the-shelf code. Colleagues note his ability to find elegant analytical approximations that clarify numerical results and guide observational interpretation.
