Gary Lin

Bio

Dr Lin is a senior computational epidemiologist at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory. His research focuses on utilizing modeling and computational simulation to understand complex systems, particularly in infectious disease surveillance, community resilience, and public health response. Other research contribution includes biomedical research innovation, international development, environmental sustainability, and healthcare decision support. He was previously a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at an international non-profit called One Health Trust (formerly Center for Disease Dynamics, Economics & Policy), and Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. Dr Lin earned his PhD in Civil and Systems Engineering at the Johns Hopkins University and holds a M.S.E. in Geography and Environmental Engineering.
