Biography

      Chinsu Lin received his B.S. degree from National Chung Hsing University (NCHU), Taichung, Taiwan in 1986,  M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from National Taiwan University (NTU), Taipei, Taiwan in 1988 and 1996, all in forestry.

Dr. Lin is a certified forester. He joined the faculty of the Department of Forestry and Natural Resources at National Chiayi University (NCYU), Taiwan in February 1997, where he is currently a professor and the Director of the Remote Sensing and Forest-Biogeoscience Laboratory (RSFBioL). Dr. Lin had been served as Professor Chairman of the Department during August 2004 and July 2011. His research interests include multispectral and hyperspectral signal processing, image classification, forest metrics assessment, and geospatial information analysis. He is currently investigating applications of remote sensing and GIS techniques for forest ecosystem management; the major applications includes biophysical and biochemical research, automatic delineation and mapping of individual tree canopy, volumetric modeling with airborne LiDAR data, forest biomass and productivity, carbon sequestration estimation, individual-based tree species classification, and 3D-based scenic beauty evaluation (3D-PPGIS). He also makes efforts at upgrading the forest inventory accuracy as well as the exploration of species-based dynamics of pristine mixed forest by incorporating the techniques of hyperspectral and hyperspatial remote sensing, LiDAR remote sensing, GIS, and GPS.

Dr. Lin is currently on the Editorial Board of two international journals: “Remote Sensing Open” and “Information Processing in Agriculture” and serves as the Standing Director of The Taiwan Group on Earth Observation (TGEO) as well. Dr. Lin welcomes and would appreciate fully collaborations with international students and scientists carrying out the research of spatial science in forest ecosystem and the earth observations.
