Dong Lin is an Associate Professor in the Mechanical, Industrial, and Manufacturing Engineering Department at Oregon State University's College of Engineering. His research focuses on bio-inspired 3D printing of functional materials, particularly aerogels and composite structures. Lin pioneered the 3D printing of graphene aerogels, earning a Guinness World Record for the world's lightest material (0.5 mg/cm³) in 2018. His work has been featured in over 136,000 online platforms and top journals like Advanced Materials and Nature Communications.
Lin holds a Ph.D. from Purdue University (2013), M.S. degrees from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (2009) and Huazhong University of Science & Technology (2007), and a B.S. from Harbin Institute of Technology (2004).
His research interests include additive manufacturing of metal composites, carbon fiber-reinforced polymers, and functional materials for energy storage and biomedical applications. Lin has secured funding from NSF, Army, NASA, USDA, and industry partners. He serves as Associate Editor of the Journal of Manufacturing Processes and has received the NSF CAREER Award and ASME's Chao and Trigger Young Manufacturing Engineer Award.
Notable achievements include over 78 peer-reviewed publications, participation in the NAE EU-U.S. Frontiers of Engineering Symposium (2021), and awards for both research and teaching excellence. His lab focuses on advancing sustainable manufacturing technologies through innovative material design and process optimization.
