Background

Jin received her PhD in 2007 from the Faculty of Computing, Engineering and Science, University of South Wales. As well as teaching and research at ARU, she's also the designated collaborative Partner Link Tutor with China. Jin is a member of the Computing, Informatics and Applications Research Group.

Jin previously served as a PDRA in the Astronomical Instrumentation Group in the Astronomy & Physics Department of the University of Cardiff. Her research interests include electronic systems modelling; smart antennas; the study and design for development of novel artificial matematerials components in the mid-infrared range and microwave frequency regions; the design of quasi-optical components for millimetre-wave astronomy; and the electromagnetic modelling and the simulations.

Jin was Principal Investigator for two China-UK Science Network Grants in 2008 and 2009: the Royal Society on behalf of the UK Government Office for Science (GO-Science), and the China Scholarship Council (CSC) on behalf of the Ministry of Education in China.
