“The most exciting thing about science is the unknown — anything is possible.” – Dr. Albert Yu-Min Lin
Dr. Lin is an award winning scientist, technologist, explorer, and adventurer with a knack for storytelling both on stage and the big screen. As a problem solver, he has reinvented how we explore and has made headlines around the world for his expansive work combining technology with exploration. His projects range from an effort to search for the tomb of Genghis Khan in Mongolia (using satellites, crowdsourcing, drones, and ground penetrating radar) to expeditions remapping major sites in China and Guatemala (using satellites and Lidar) to his most recent efforts to redefine human bionic capabilities with bio-monitors and ‘flow’ experiments.
Albert is a UCSD Research Scientist, a National Geographic Explorer, and a curious human.
