Tsu-ting Tim Lin

I am the Principal at Cambrio, where I lead prototyping and benchmarking efforts that turn overwhelming data into usable insight. My work focuses on building dataflow automation solutions that help domain experts in geospatial, healthcare, and life sciences make sense of massive, high-dimensional datasets—enabling faster, more confident decisions in fields where data complexity often exceeds human capacity.

Before joining Cambrio, I was an assistant professor of Economics at Gettysburg College, where I taught macroeconomics and published research on labor markets, automation, and economic uncertainty. I earned my PhD at Northwestern University under Nobel Laureate Dale Mortensen.

Throughout my academic career, I received multiple teaching awards—recognition not just for my instruction, but for my ability to explain complex technical ideas clearly and effectively. Paired with hands-on industry experience, this strength makes me especially effective at bridging theory and practice—translating data, models, and automation into real-world outcomes that matter.
