Hui Lin earned a bachelor and master’s degree with honors in Environmental Sciences from Peking University in China and earned a Ph.D. in Environmental Geochemistry from the Georgia Institute of Technology in 2012. Her Ph.D. dissertation was titled “Anaerobic Respiration of Manganese Oxides and Its Effects on Carbon and Nitrogen Cycles.” After graduation, she joined a multidisciplinary research team at ORNL as a postdoctoral research associate in the Environmental Sciences Division under Baohua Gu. Her work focused mostly on the mechanisms and geochemical controls on mercury transformation leading to its uptake and methylation in the environment. As a result of this work, she published three first-author research articles in Environmental Science and Technology and co-authored more than four additional publications. Dow Chemical recently recruited her as a chemist within its Environment, Health, and Safety analytical support segment. Lin’s hobbies include playing tennis and reading.
