Dr. Zhihong Lin is a staff research 
            physicist in the Theory Department. In 2000, he received the Presidential 
            Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers. He was also the recipient 
            of the Kaul Foundation Prize for Excellence in Plasma Physics research 
            and Technology Development in 1999 for performing advanced simulations 
            with unprecedented realism and resolution leading to results demonstrating 
            the positive impact of modern massively parallel computers and for 
            outstnding contributions to understanding the physics of sheared zonal 
            flows. He is the author of 26 refereed journal publications (10 first 
            author articles) and a contributor to many conference proceedings. 
            Prior to his current position, he was a DOE Fusion Energy Postdoctoal 
            Fellow. Dr. Lin received his Ph.D. in Plasma Physics from Princeton 
            University - Department of Astrophysical Sciences - Program in Plasma 
            Physics in 1996. He received a B.S.in physics from Beijing University 
            (China) in 1989.
