John Lin JD General Information

Biography

Dr. John Lin is a Co-Founder and serves as Chief Executive Officer at Tau Carbon. He has a B.A. in Economics (Drew University, 2002), a J.D. (the University of Pennsylvania Law School, 2006), and B.S. and M.S. degrees in Chemical Engineering (CCNY, 2015 and Stanford University, 2019). He completed a federal judicial clerkship after finishing law school and also practised law as a commercial litigator before deciding to switch to a climate-related career in 2011. As part of this career switch, he went back to college to study chemical engineering and then spent 4 years in the Chemical Engineering PhD program at Stanford, where his research focused on electrochemical CO2 reduction, a.k.a. "artificial photosynthesis." After 4 years of working on artificial photosynthesis, he concluded that natural photosynthesis is a better technology for capturing and converting CO2 and co-founded Tau Carbon to develop technologies that will maximize the amount of carbon that is stored in terrestrial biomass.
