Ning Lin

Ning Lin is a Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering and Director of Graduate Studies at Princeton University's Department of Civil Engineering. Her research focuses on Sustainable, Resilient Cities and Infrastructure Systems, Water, Climate and Energy, Mechanics, Materials and Structures, Hydrology and the Atmospheric Environment. She integrates science, engineering, and policy to study hurricane-related weather extremes and their societal impacts. Lin leads research on hurricane hazards and risk in a changing climate, including NSF-funded projects. She is also associated faculty at the High Meadows Environmental Institute and the Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment.

Ning Lin is a researcher at Princeton University specializing in hurricanes, storm surge, climate adaptation, coastal resilience, and risk analysis. Their work focuses on assessing hurricane flood hazards, evaluating flood resilience strategies for coastal megacities, and quantifying extreme water levels from tropical cyclones. Lin's research also explores the impacts of climate change on hurricane-related risks, including the exacerbation of flood hazards along the US Atlantic and Gulf Coasts. Additionally, they investigate the characteristics of wind forces, tropical cyclone climatology, and the resilience of renewable power systems under climate risks. Lin's studies contribute to understanding and mitigating the effects of extreme weather events on coastal communities.
