Biography

Andy Lin is a data scientist at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL). His research focuses on developing new computational methods for analyzing and assessing the confidence of proteomics-based and metabolomics-based mass spectrometry data. He also focuses on applying mass spectrometry-based proteomics and metabolomics methods to the field of forensics. He originally joined PNNL as a Linus Pauling Distinguished Postdoctoral Fellow. Andy obtained his PhD from the Department of Genome Sciences at the University of Washington in 2021 and his BS from the University of Michigan in 2013.
