Yu-Shan Lin obtained her Ph.D. in Chemistry from University of Wisconsin, Madison, in 2009, and she was a postdoctoral fellow at Stanford from 2009 to 2012. In 2012, Yu-Shan established her research group at Tufts University, where she received tenure in 2018. Yu-Shan’s current research endeavors focus on using molecular dynamics simulation and machine learning to understand and design structures and properties of peptides, in particular cyclic and other restrained peptides. Yu-Shan recently received the Machine Learning in the Chemical Sciences & Engineering Award from the Camille and Henry Dreyfus Foundation (2020), the Rising Innovator Award from Tufts University (2023), and the Annual Women Leadership Award from the Rotary Club of Cambridge Massachusetts (2023).
