The North Dakota Water Resources Research Institute (NDWRRI) has named Zhulu Lin, North Dakota State University associate professor of agricultural and biosystems engineering, as a Faculty Fellow. Lin will provide water research leadership and information to NDSU while contributing interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research-based solutions to water quality and water access problems for the state and the nation.

Lin has been a faculty member at NDSU since 2008. He has bachelor’s and master’s degrees in environmental engineering from East China University of Science & Technology in Shanghai, China. He also earned his Ph.D. in water and soil resources from the University of Georgia.

Lin specializes in hydrological and water-quality modeling and the analysis of environmental systems. He has built collaborations across campus, government agencies and other universities with experts in various fields as a result of this work. His contributions to these areas include developing computer models and software, conducting numerical analysis of environmental data and evaluating policies and practices based on environmental, economic and social indicators.

“I look forward to working with other Faculty Fellows to develop multidisciplinary research and outreach projects to increase North Dakota and the region’s water sustainability for food and energy production,” Lin said.

NDWRRI has four NDSU faculty members serving as Faculty Fellows. These experts provide water research leadership and information to NDSU while providing interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research-based solutions to water quality and water access problems for the state and the nation.
