Chun Chia Lin is an American physicist.
Lin earned a bachelor's degree from the University of California, Berkeley, and completed a doctoral dissertation titled Selected Topics in Microwave Spectroscopy under the direction of John Hasbrouck Van Vleck at Harvard University.[1][2]
Lin began his teaching career at the University of Oklahoma in 1955, and joined the University of Wisconsin–Madison in 1968.[3][4] At UW–Madison he held the John and Abigail Van Vleck Professorship of Physics.[3][4] In 1965, Lin was elected a fellow of the American Physical Society.[5] The APS subsequently awarded Lin the 1996 Will Allis Prize for the Study of Ionized Gases.[3] Upon retirement, UW–Madison granted Lin emeritus status.[6] Lin is a member of the University of Oklahoma's Department of Physics and Astronomy Board of Visitors.[7] In 2016, Lin and the Avenir Foundation funded the construction of a new academic building and research laboratory at the University of Oklahoma.[4] Construction on Lin Hall was completed in 2018.[8][9]
