Chia-Chiao Lin (Chinese: 林家翹; 7 July 1916 – 13 January 2013) was

a Chinese-born American applied mathematician and Institute of Technology. Lin made major

contributions to the theory of hydrodynamic stability, turbulent flow, mathematics, and astrophysics. Lin was born in Beijing with ancestral roots in Fuzhou. In 1937 Lin graduated from the department of

physics, National Tsinghua

University in Beijing. After graduation he was an assistant teaching in

the Tsinghua University physics department. In 1939 Lin won a Boxer

Rebellion Indemnity Scholarship and initially was supported to

study in the United Kingdom. However,

due to World War II, Lin and

several others were sent to North America by ship. Unluckily, Lin's ship was stopped

in Kobe, Japan, and all students had to return to China. In 1940 Lin

finally reached Canada and studied at the University of Toronto from

which he earned his M.Sc. In 1941.[ Lin continued his studies in

the United States and

received his PhD from the California Institute of

Technology in 1944 under Theodore von Kármán. His

PhD thesis provided a analytic method to solve a problem in the stability of

parallel shearing flows, which was the subject of Werner Heisenberg's PhD thesis. Lin also taught

at Caltech between 1943 and 1945. He taught at Brown University between 1945 and 1947. Lin joined the

faculty of the Massachusetts

Institute of Technology in 1947. Lin was promoted to professor

at MIT in 1953 and became an Institute Professor of MIT in

1963. He was President of the Society for

Industrial and Applied Mathematics from 1972 to 1974. Lin

retired from MIT in 1987. In 2002, he moved back to China and help founded the

Zhou Pei-Yuan Center for Applied Mathematics (ZCAM) at Tsinghua University. He

died, aged 96, in Beijing.
