Dr Lin Su

Dr. Lin Su is a Leverhulme Early Career Fellow at the University of Cambridge and has been a member of Prof. Erwin Reisner’s Lab in the Department of Chemistry since 2021. He obtained his PhD in Biomedical Engineering from Southeast University in 2021, where he focused on engineering electron transfer at the interfaces of microorganisms and materials in Prof. Degang Fu’s Lab. During his studies, he also visited Prof. Caroline Ajo-Franklin’s Lab at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (later moved to Rice University) to study synthetic biology between 2016 and 2021.

Dr. Lin Su’s research is primarily focused on engineering electron transfer at the interfaces of microorganisms and materials. He is particularly interested in building biohybrid systems capable of semi-artificial photosynthesis, as well as designing bioelectronic sensors for information exchange. His work has garnered attention for its potential to drive innovation in the fields and contribute to the development of sustainable, environmentally friendly technologies as well as healthcare-related biomedical engineering applications.
