Biography/ Background
Dr Ling Yin has been an associate professor in manufacturing in the School of Electrical and Mechanical Engineering at the ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ of Adelaide (UoA) since 2018. She also served as Faculty Research Theme Leader in Advanced Manufacturing (2019-2022). For her role, she has strategically initiated and coordinated inter/multidisciplinary, inter-institutional, international and industry research collaborations that lead to several key external funding successes in manufacturing.
Ling received her B.Sc., M.Sc., and Ph.D. degrees in mechanical engineering from Huazhong ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ of Science & Technology (HUST) in Wuhan, China. The HUST Motto (Virtue, Knowledge, Truth, Originality) has been her life guidance. Inspired by Chinese ancient philosopher Gu Yanwu's saying "Walk Ten Thousand Miles, Read Ten Thousand Books", she embarked on her global career upon completion of her PhD, spanning China, Japan, USA, Singapore and ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥. Prior to UoA, she served in various academic and R&D positions in academia and government, including Tianjin ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ in Tianjin, China; Kumamoto ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ in Kumamoto, Japan; Kansas State ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ in Manhattan, Kansas, USA; the ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥n National ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ in Canberra and James Cook ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ in Townsville, ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥; the National Institute of Standards & Technology (NIST) in Gaithersburg, Maryland, USA; and A*STAR Singapore Institute of Manufacturing Technology in Singapore.
Ling's research focuses on multiscale manufacturing of advanced materials across engineering and medicine/dentistry boundaries. She has been supported by funding and fellowships from Japan MEXT (Monbukagakusho Scholarship) and JSPS (e.g., the Invitational Fellowship), NSFC, NIH, A*STAR, ARC DP/LE, NHMRC, and industry. She has made substantial impact on a wide spectrum of manufacturing research topics covering novel subtractive manufacturing processes for brittle solids as optics, semiconductors, and mechanical ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥; hard tissues in surgery; and ceramic restorations in dentistry. She also works on 3D printing and multiscale mechanical characterisaton for engineering and medical/dental applications. Ling has published some 100 journal papers, including five lead-authored papers in the top 1% journal in manufacturing, the International Journal of Machine Tools and Manufacture (IF 14). She also has 3 patents and has authored 12 industrial research reports.
Ling has supervised some 20 HDR students, 26 Masters-by-Coursework students, nearly 100 honours students. She has developed/redeveloped and taught materials, mechanics, manufacturing, and asset management courses at both undergraduate and graduate levels. She is a proud supervisor whose students have won the R.J. Jennings Memorial Prize for Mechanical Engineering, the ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ of Adelaide, 2023; the Ingenuity First-Class Honours Project in Mechanical Engineering, the ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ of Adelaide, 2023; Undergraduate Research, ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ Medal, James Cook ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥, 2018; the Zonta JCU Award for Best Woman in Engineering Thesis, James Cook ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥, 2018; CD Barton Medal Finalist for Honours Thesis, James Cook ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥, 2017; Medal of Excellence, PhD Student, James Cook ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥, 2017; PhD Thesis Cum Laude, James Cook ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥, 2016; the CD Barton Medal Finalist for Honours Thesis, James Cook ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥, 2009; the Best PhD Thesis Award, Tianjin ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥, Tianjin, China, 2008.
