About Me
I am an Assistant Professor of Management and Organizations at New York University Shanghai. I hold a PhD in Organizational Behaviour and an MSc in Finance from London Business School, and a BSc in Business Administration from the Haas School of Business at the University of California, Berkeley.
As a scholar, my goal is to understand ways that empower individuals to navigate career challenges and foster diversity in the workplace. In one research stream, I study how mindsets shape employees' ability to navigate employment uncertainty, employee experience, and career transitions. In another research stream, I investigate how multicultural experiences shape diversity in social networks and how network diversity, together with organizational practices, influences equity and inclusion in the workplace.
Prior to my career in academia, I worked in the financial services and technology sectors across the United States, Europe, and Asia, where I advised Fortune 500 companies and led teams at a Silicon Valley startup through its IPO.
I have a deep passion for education. As a university professor, I teach Negotiations and Consensus Building, guide students through thesis and research projects, and advise them on their career development. I also support nonprofit organizations on strategy, mentor women entrepreneurs in emerging markets, and design training programs for students who lack access to higher education.
I enjoy improvising on the piano, skiing in the Alps, and building my photography portfolio.

Student testimonials
"Amazing class genuinely had a lot of fun learning about negotiation and enjoyed how the course was structured. The professor was extremely genuine and very insightful in boosting our careers"
"I genuinely love her as a professor. She is one of my favorite professors because she truly understands the value of learning. She is always very clear in her explanations, engaging during class, and consistently supportive of students who may be struggling. I think she should continue doing what she is already doing because her teaching style is very effective."
"Professor Lin is great at teaching and passionate about her subject. She also fosters an inclusive atmosphere for open discussion."
"Professor Eva is really supportive and helpful. Even though I didn't have negotiation experience before, which was actually my weakness, she helped me to overcome it and change my mindset. I went to the office for an hour to ask for recommendations for my intern and first job negotiation. Having an open mindset and understanding different cultures helps to deal with people. You are not only helping me to be better at negotiating, but change my mindset for future opportunities."
"I loved taking class with professor Lin! She was great to talk to about career advice as well and I thought she was overall just a very interesting professor. Her story is very inspiring and fascinating to me."
"An amazing professor, who really cares about her students!"
"Professor Eva Lin is the best professor that I have met during my freshman year at NYUSH."
