Lin is an expert in computer graphics and geometric computing. Her research on mathematical foundations and applications has been used in CAD/CAM, 3D graphics, physically based modeling, virtual environments, robotics and haptics by the scientific community, the computer industry and the entertainment world.
The association named 46 new fellows for their contributions that have created a broad range of innovations for industry, commerce, entertainment and education. The fellows were chosen from international industries, universities and research labs. They will be honored at the association’s annual awards banquet in June.
