Song Lin grew up in Tianjin, China. He obtained B.S. from Peking University in 2008 and Ph.D. from Harvard University working under the mentorship of Eric Jacobsen. He then carried out postdoctoral studies with Chris Chang at UC Berkeley. In 2016, Song started his independent career at Cornell University, where he is currently an Associate Professor. He is also an Associate Editor at Organic Letters and has served on the Early Career Advisory Board of ACS Catalysis and Chemistry–A European Journal. The Lin Laboratory’s research lies at the interfaces between catalysis, electrochemistry, and radical chemistry, where they explore fundamental principles of electrochemistry and radical chemistry to discover new organic transformations and uncover new reaction mechanisms.
