ICBE-EMF – 28july2025
Professor James C. Lin also has just received the 2025 IEEE Microwave Career Award from the IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society. The award recognizes individuals who have made outstanding achievements and contributions to microwave theory and technology.
Lin is Professor Emeritus at the University of Illinois Chicago where he chaired the Department of Bioengineering, directed both the Robotics and Automation Lab and Special Projects in Engineering. He has had a distinguished career. He is a former President of the Bioelectromagnetics Society, former Chair of IEEE’s Committee on Man and Radiation and served on the International Commission on Non‑Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) from 2004–16. Lin has authored or edited 14 books, authored 400 book chapters and articles in journals and magazines, and made 300 conference presentations. He has been the Editor-in-Chief of the Bioelectromagnetics journal, since 2006. He was a recipient of the d’Arsonval Medal from the Bioelectromagnetics Society, the IEEE Transactions on Electromagnetic Compatibility Prize Paper Award, the IEEE COMAR Recognition Award, and the CAPAMA Outstanding Leadership and Service Awards. He served as a member of the U.S. President’s Committee for National Medal of Science, in 1992 and 1993. Read his full biography at IEEE.
Watch a presentation by Dr. Lin regarding wireless safety limits at an ICBE-EMF proceeding below.
His 2023 paper “Incongruities in recently revised radiofrequency exposure guidelines and standards” published in Environmental Research focused on how scientific evidence dod not support the assumption that 5Gs higher millimeter wave frequencies can be regarded as safe so long as they comply with the ICNIRPs 2020 human exposure guidelines.
“The currently promulgated RF exposure guidelines and standards cover the entire range of RF radiation and apply predominantly to restrict RF-induced short-term heating and in guarding against raising tissue temperatures, including the 5G frequencies. There are substantial abnormalities in these putative health safety protection guidelines and standards. Some of the safety limits are irrelevant, debatable, and absent of scientific justification from the standpoint of safety and public health protection.”
Lin has also authored several articles in IEEE Health Matters explaining various critical issues regarding wireless radiation and health including:
