Research

Lin is known for her work on collision detection, and in particular for the Lin–Canny algorithm for maintaining the closest pair of features of two moving objects,[3] for the idea (with Cohen, Manocha, and Ponamgi) of using axis-aligned bounding boxes to quickly eliminate from consideration pairs of objects that are far from colliding,[4] and for additional speedups to collision detection using bounding box hierarchies.[5] Her software libraries implementing these algorithms are widely used in commercial applications including computer aided design and computer games.[6] More generally, her research interests are in physically based modeling, haptics, robotics, 3D computer graphics, computational geometry, and interactive computer simulation.[1]

Biography

Lin did her graduate studies at the University of California, Berkeley before joining the UNC faculty in 1997.[1][7] She is the Editor in Chief of IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics.[8] She is married to her frequent collaborator and UNC faculty colleague, Dinesh Manocha; she was hired at UNC in the same year, 1997, that Manocha was tenured there.[7]

Awards and honors

In 2003, UNC gave Lin their Hettleman Prize for Scholarly and Artistic Achievements, and in 2007, she was named as the Beverly W. Long Distinguished Professor.[2] She has won many best-paper awards for her research,[2], and was given the IEEE Visualization and Graphics Technical Committee 2010 Virtual Reality Technical Achievement Award "in recognition of her seminal contributions in the area of interactive physics-based interaction and simulation for virtual environments."[6][9]
