| Dr. Lin is
the founder of the American GNC Corporation and the driving
force behind AGNC's many accomplishments.
Dr. Lin began his illustrious career at the University of
Michigan in Ann Arbor, where he received his Ph.D. degree
in Computer, Information, and Control Engineering in 1980.
During his teaching career at the University of Michigan in
Ann Arbor and at the University of Wisconsin in Madison, he
consistently pursued several areas of critical importance
to modern technology and carefully evaluated, in both theory
and practice, the implications of their development and integration.
Dr. Lin authored over 400 technical publications and was responsible
for over 100 patents and patent applications. Over the same
time period, he was responsible for over 1,000 government
contract reports. In the last ten years, he led the effort
to introduce over 30 GNCC products. With a rare combination
of talents that allowed him to be a leader in creating highly
successful products, based on a thorough understanding of
advanced technical principles. These talents were manifest
in the world's first and still best selling book series by
Prentice Hall on GNCC systems and their applications, including
GPS in 1990.

Dr Lin's career spans more
than 25 years of teaching, research, industrial applications
work, and senior management within the fields of guidance,
navigation, control, and Communication (GNCC). He developed
a miniature size, coremicro IMU, which is low cost and uses
little power. It represents a unique product that has immensely
expanded the applicability of navigation systems. The many
projects that Dr. Lin has been responsible for have applications
encompassing personnel tracking, aircraft, marine vessels,
ground transportation vehicles, missiles, spacecraft, armored
vehicles, helicopters, submarines, robotics, space structures
and uninhabited air/underwater vehicles.
As a world class and prolific researcher, Dr. Lin made fundamental
and diverse contributions to GNCC. His work is of the highest
quality and is broadly utilized. He addressed and solved many
important problems in the development of modern high tech
systems. One of the excellent attributes of this research
is the proper balance he achieved between theory and its applicability
to real world GNCC problems. This work is well known and regarded
by his peers. His visionary pursuit of advanced research and
technology impacts a broad range of critical areas such as
ground/mix air proximity warning systems, spacecraft docking
systems, robotics, intelligent autonomous hierarchical information,
autonomous decision and control, "Modeling, Design, Analysis,
Simulation and Evaluation" (MDASE), and environment recognition
and adaptation. He recognized the full potential for current
methods and adopted far-sighted approaches to future problems.
Dr. Lin developed innovative products and methods, procedures,
algorithms, hardware and software tools for the analysis,
design, simulation and evaluation of autonomous systems. This
multidisciplinary approach to intelligent vehicle control
is an integrated GNCC system blending the most powerful elements
of modern theory within a practical framework. The system
includes several different types of advanced sensors, such
as: hyperspectral, visible, infrared, laser ranging, passive
millimeter-wave imaging devices, and multiple sensor configuration
navigation systems, such as AGNC designed Fully-Coupled GPS/INS
systems incorporating the coremicro IMU. Dr. Lin developed
extensive GNCC techniques which provide effective, reliable,
and inexpensive means to enhance flight safety. He also developed
the design of collision avoidance systems that detect and
react to safe flight/driving threats.
He has been recognized for his exceptional achievements by
both business and engineering leaders worldwide. A list of
