Tse-min Lin

Tse-min Lin serves as Associate Professor of Government in the College of Liberal Arts at the University of Texas at Austin, concurrently holding the position of Associate Director of the Center for Taiwan Studies. He earned his Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of Minnesota and maintains active teaching responsibilities including advanced statistical analysis and political behavior courses scheduled through Fall 2025.

His academic journey includes teaching appointments at the University of Minnesota, State University of New York at Stony Brook, Duke University, Michigan State University, Academia Sinica, National Taiwan University, University of Nottingham, and National Tsing Hua University, demonstrating extensive regional expertise in East Asia.

Dr. Lin's research program integrates political methodology, formal theory, and comparative political behavior with specific focus on Taiwan's democratization, cross-strait relations, and protest dynamics in Hong Kong. His methodological rigor spans Bayesian statistics, conjoint experiments, and longitudinal analysis, consistently applied to questions of political participation and institutional trust in emerging democracies.

Analysis of his recent publications reveals a cohesive research trajectory examining how symbolic politics interacts with pragmatic realities in Taiwan, internet-mediated participation in China, and grievance-driven protests in Hong Kong. These works demonstrate sophisticated methodological approaches including survey experiments and time-series forecasting while addressing critical questions about democratic resilience in East Asia.

Through the Center for Taiwan Studies, Lin contributes to interdisciplinary research initiatives and has conducted methodology workshops for Academia Sinica and the Inter-University Consortium of Political and Social Research (ICPSR), extending his methodological expertise to broader academic communities.

No public information regarding doctoral advisees or external research grants is available in the provided materials, though his course listings indicate active mentorship of undergraduate and graduate students in statistical methods and political theory.
