Yanhao Lin

Dr. Yanhao Lin is a Visiting Research Fellow at the Department of Geology and Geochemistry, Faculty of Science, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. His research focuses on experimental geochemistry and mineral physics, particularly magma dynamics, oxygen fugacity effects, and hydrogen transport in Earth's interior. He collaborates with institutions globally, contributing to understanding planetary evolution and mantle processes.

Research Interests:

• Magma ocean dynamics and early Earth differentiation
• Hydrogen partitioning in magmatic systems
• Oxygen fugacity control mechanisms
• Subduction zone water transport
• Lunar basalt formation processes

Recent work highlights experimental studies on lunar mare basalts (2025), magma ocean melting (2024), and core-mantle boundary hydration (2022). His studies integrate high-pressure experiments with computational modeling to address fundamental geodynamic questions.
