副教授；1996.7至今在加州大学洛杉矶分校分子、细胞和发育生物学系任教授2003年被中国农科院聘为一级岗位杰出人才。

林辰涛教授主要从事植物蓝光受体（Cryptochrome）的研究，在20世纪90年代中期，他曾使用分子重组及光化学技术第一次成功地提取了第一个蓝光受体蛋白，分析并鉴定了该蛋白的光吸收辅酶类素腺嘌吟二核苷酸，这一发现解决了光受体研究领域一个长期悬而未决的命题。在过去十几年中，他致力于植物蓝光受体的分子生物特性、生物学功能及其信号传递机制的研究，是目前世界上蓝光受体研究及植物光信号传递研究机制的专家之一。
    林辰涛教授自1990年以来在国际期刊发表论文仅目前统计的有24篇，且多为国际著名刊物上发表，其中已在《NATURE》上发表一篇，在《SCIENCE》上发表4篇，在《PNAS》上发表4篇，在《PLANT CELL》上发表2篇。1998发表在《SCIENCE》上的论文《Regulation of Flowering Time by Arabidopsis Photoreceptors》到2003年为止其被引用的次数达157次。
研究方向与主要研究内容：

研究方向为大豆分子遗传研究。主要是采用常规的基因组学研究方法来收集大豆的基因组学信息，如大豆基因组数量、基因结构、基因重复、基因表达和基因功能等。初步研究对农业生产有重要意义的基本生物学过程所涉及的一些基因，如植株形状态（茎长、叶柄长、叶片角度等）、花期以及光反应（发芽控制、避荫反应、弱光/强光胁迫等）。采用转基因方法研究上述基因的功能和基因的表达调控，在此期间，我们还将测试新的大豆品系以改良其农艺性状。
