Bio
Dr. Lin Jiang is an Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering at San José State University. She earned her PhD in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Texas at Dallas in 2021, followed by a Master’s in Mechanical Engineering from UTD and a second Master’s in Control Engineering from Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics. Her research is centered on human biomechanics and robotics, with a strong emphasis on medical assistive device development and human-robot interaction. Initially focused on control systems in aeronautics and astronautics, she transitioned her expertise into the medical field, driven by a desire to enhance public health through technological solutions.
Dr. Jiang has been recognized for her innovation in the field, holding a US patent for SmartLact8 Breast pump. Her work has been published on IEEE transactions on Biomedical Engineering (TBME), Annuals of Biomedical Engineering (ABME), IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters (RAL), Journal of Biomedical Engineering (JBME), and others. She is also an active member of IEEE HKN, BMES, ASME, and ISHRML.
Her work on human-robot interaction in hospital settings is supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF). She has also received New Investigator Award from the California State University's Program for Education and Research in Biotechnology (CSUPERB), the Small Group Project Award from the College of Engineering at SJSU, an Exemplary Teaching award from the School of Engineering at UT Dallas, a Diversity Award from the Summer Biomechanics, Bioengineering, and Biotransport Conference, a Best paper award from the 2018 ASME IMECE conference, among others.
