Dr. James C. Lin is a professor of electrical engineering, bioengineering, physiology,
and biophysics at the University of Illinois in Chicago, where he has served as head of
the Bioengineering Department, director of the Robotics and Automation Laboratory,
and director of special projects in the College of Engineering.
He is a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the
American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering, and the Institute of
Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). He held an NSC research chair from 1993
to 1997 and is an IEEE–Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBS) distinguished lecturer. He is a recipient of the d’Arsonval Medal from the Bioelectromagnetics
Society, IEEE EMC Transactions Prize Paper Award, IEEE COMAR Recognition Award,
CAPAMA Outstanding Leadership and Service Awards, and UIC Best Engineering
Advisor Award. He received his BS, MS, and PhD from the University of Washington,
Seattle.
Dr. Lin has served in leadership positions of several scientific and professional
organizations including president of the Bioelectromagnetics Society, chairman of
the International Scientific Radio Union (URSI) Commission on Electromagnetics in
Biology and Medicine, chairman of the IEEE Committee on Man and Radiation, vice
president of the U.S. National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements
(NCRP) and chairman of its Committee on Biological Effects and Exposure Criteria for
Radiofrequency Fields, and chairman of the International Commission on Non-Ionizing
Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) Scientific Committee. He has served on numerous advisory committees and panels for the Office of the U.S. President, National Academy of
Sciences, National Research Council, National Science Foundation, National Institutes
of Health, Marconi Foundation (Italy), and the World Health Organization.
Dr. Lin has authored or edited nine books and authored more than 170 journal
papers and book chapters. In addition, his columns with more than 100 articles on the
health and safety of wireless mobile communication radiation appear in four professional magazines. He is the editor-in-chief of the Bioelectromagnetics Journal and has
served as editor and member on the editorial boards of several journals. He is a member
of the Sigma Xi, Phi Tau Phi, Tau Beta Pi, and Golden Key honorary societies, and is
listed in American Men and Women of Science, Who’s Who in America, Who’s Who in
Engineering, Who’s Who in the World, and Men of Achievement.
