Is it possible to link this in an HTML file?

I'm proficient in HTML and CSS, my brother is good at Matlab and we want to try and make a website but I want to know if it's possible to link matlab to HTML, ex. Linking CSS in HTML would be: <link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css">

Contact MathWorks (link) and ask them, especially since copyright and licensing could be issues.

Yes, it is possible, and it is permitted by the Mathworks licenses in some situation.
If you have an Academic license, then the resulting pages can only be made available to internal users, for the needs of the academic institution itself. (Not just because a student thinks it might be interesting.)
If you have a Standard / Professional license, then in order to make the page available to an unrestricted audience, you need to have a floating networked license, not just a Named User ("individual") license.
Another possibility is to use MATLAB Compiler SDK to compile a program and make it accessible by Java or .NET . This does not require that MATLAB itself be running. MATLAB Compiler SDK licenses are only available through Academic and Standard / Professional licenses, not to Student or Home licenses.
The page you put up cannot allow general computation: it must be specific purpose.
There are multiple ways to interface to MATLAB.
If you are calling over to MATLAB directly, you would need to use a web server that had MATLAB installed. The start-up time can be nasty, though, unless you use MATLAB Production Server (though an SSD helps.)
