Professor Lin grew up in Tianjin, China and completed his undergraduate degree from Peking University. He then pursued graduate studies at Harvard University working under the direction of Professor Eric Jacobsen. His doctoral research was focused on the development and mechanistic understanding of enantioselective reactions catalyzed by multifunctional hydrogen-bond donors. Prof. Lin then carried out postdoctoral studies with Professor Chris Chang at UC Berkeley. His postdoctoral research was focused on the design of molecularly tunable materials, such as covalent organic frameworks, as catalysts for electrochemical conversion of CO2 to value-added products. In the summer of 2016, Prof. Lin moved to Ithaca to start his independent career where he is now a Tisch University Professor in Chemistry. Research in Prof. Lin's Lab lies within the broadly-defined field of organic chemistry, with specific emphases on synthetic electrochemistry and electrocatalysis; developing methodologies that expand the scope and sustainability of synthetic chemistry using the unique capabilities of electrochemistry.
