President of Asian Fishery Society Taiwan Branch since 2019. Dr. Founder of Giant Bio Tech Inc., which is a university startup from NTOU. Lin received his bachelor's degree in agriculture from Taiwan University in 1994, majoring in agricultural chemistry. In 1996 and 2001, he obtained a master's degree and a Ph.D degree from the Institute of Biochemical Sciences, National Taiwan University, respectively. Afterwards, he also worked in the Institute of Biological Chemistry of Academia Sinica and Osaka University in Japan as a postdoctoral fellow. Since 2006, he established his marine biotechnology laboratory in the Department of Bioscience and Biotechnology, National Taiwan Ocean University, where he had also served as head of the department.

Professor Han-Jia Lin's research focuses on solving the problems in aquaculture by using cross-disciplinary technologies, including molecular biology, biochemistry and nanotechnology. Many works related to basic physiology and applications have been studied in aquacultural species, such as diatoms, marine ciliates, fishes and shrimps. Recently, research on therapeutic carbon nanomaterials has been considered as highly potential antibiotic alternatives to solve the antibiotic abuse problem in aquaculture. Many advanced research works have been published in high-ranking journals and applied in the industry. Therefore, Dr. Lin has been awarded many important invention awards, including 2021 Taipei Biotech Award, 2020 Futex award, 2019 National Innovation award and the Platinum award of 2018 Taiwan InnoTech Expo.
