Albert Lin is a time traveler, or, as close to one as is possible outside of H.G. Wells. He is an explorer, a scientist, a technologist, and a storyteller, digging through history to uncover lost human stories through the artifacts that are left behind. Now, the National Geographic Explorer has added another entry to his long list of accomplishments—a new partnership with Hamilton Watches as their latest Friend of the Brand alongside their Step Outside campaign.
For the past twenty-plus years, Lin, who holds a PhD in materials science and engineering, has been exploring the past. He utilizes cutting-edge technologies like satellite imagery, drones, ground penetrating radar, and LiDAR in the pursuit of new archeological discoveries.
