Alex Lin , PHD

I specialized in the following research areas:

1. Pharmacy Operation Optimization: My focus encompasses a holistic approach, commencing with system evaluation and enhancement, progressing to system implementation, and concluding with post-implementation refinement and automation.
2. Pharmacy 5.0: I specialize in the integration of cutting-edge technologies, such as automation, deep learning, and AI, within the realm of pharmacy and beyond.
3. Business Development: My proficiency extends to the realms of business strategy development, including value proposition analysis, and various related facets.

My research interests encompass several areas:

• Pharmacy 5.0 which applies advanced digital technologies,  artificial intelligence (AI), smart system designs, and resource efficiencies to ensure optimal patient care outcomes.
• Analysis of medication distribution systems, aimed at optimizing efficiency and minimizing medication errors.
• Pharmacy facility design, spanning functional program development, fixture design, and the integration of computer simulation for enhanced design processes.
• Utilization of computer simulation coupled with animation to augment pharmacy management strategies.
