Dr. Lin conducts research on the physical and orbital characteristics of minor planets within the solar system, including asteroids and Kuiper belt objects. His methodologies involve astrometry, photometry, and spectroscopy. Additionally, he employs large astronomical sky survey data and designs custom surveys to sample specific populations of minor planets for the purpose of establishing population models. This information contributes to our comprehension of the solar system’s evolution.
