Lin completed his bachelor's and master's degrees in mathematics at National Taiwan University. He then completed doctoral study at New York University in the United States in 1983, and was a member of the Institute for Advanced Study between 1984 and 1985. He taught at NTU from 1987 to 1990, when he joined the faculty of National Chung Cheng University. Lin was director of the National Center for Theoretical Sciences between 1993 and 2003. In 2006, Lin returned to NTU as director of the Institute for Mathematical Sciences.

In his research, Lin has explored mean field theory and Eisenstein series. Lin was elected a member of Academia Sinica in 1998, received the Morningside Medal that same year, and was awarded Taiwan's Presidential Science Prize [zh] in 2001.
