Mich Lin
PhD candidate at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology
BACKGROUND
Mich Lin is a researcher and PhD candidate at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Cambridge, MA, USA). Their NASA-funded thesis investigates architectural design strategies to support behavioral health and performance in isolated, confined, extreme, and resource-confined environments, with a focus on long-duration space exploration. Through a multi-disciplinary approach blending bioastronautical engineering, data science, architecture, human-centered design, and psychology, Mich’s portfolio explores the relationships between the human and the environment at various scales.
Professionally, Mich has worked at SpaceX, Blue Origin, and NASA Johnson Space Center on space habitat design, space medicine, and isolation analog research. Most recently, they were a visiting researcher at Copenhagen-based architecture firm 3XN/GXN, focusing on behavioral design in urban environments.
