About

Dr Lin Tian is an academic in the School of Engineering. She loves working with students, teaching and doing research. Her interests include multi-scale modeling of fluid and micro\nano particles, aerosol transport, inhalation toxicity and drug delivery in respiratory systems, thermal and fluid science in bio-, energy, and environmental systems. Currently, she is centered on developing Lattice Boltzmann computational capabilities to solve single- and multi-phase flow problems.
