Chia-Her Lin earned his bachelor's and master's degrees from National Chung Hsing University in Taichung from 1992 to 1998. He then joined the Department of Chemistry at National Tsing Hua University in Hsinchu, where he received his Ph.D. in 2002 under the guidance of Professor Sue-Lein Wang. His research focused on porous and photo-luminescent metal phosphates.
After completing his military service in 2004, he returned to Professor Sue-Lein Wang's group as a postdoctoral scholar. In late 2005, he continued his postdoctoral research at Michigan State University under Professor Mercouri G. Kanatzidis, where he specialized in solid-state chemistry.
In 2006, he was appointed as an assistant professor of chemistry at Chung Yuan Christian University. He was promoted to associate professor in 2010 and full professor in 2013. Throughout his career, Professor Lin has mentored over 50 master's students, 6 doctoral students, and 5 postdoctoral fellows. He has authored over 250 scientific papers in inorganic chemistry, metal phosphates, and metal-organic frameworks.
In August 2019, he joined the Department of Chemistry at National Taiwan Normal University.
In August 2024, he moved to the Department of Chemistry at National Tsing Hua University.
