Ling Long is a Chinese American mathematician whose research concerns modular forms, arithmetic hypergeometric functions, as well as number theory in general. She is the Micheal F. and Roberta Nesbit McDonald Chair Professor of mathematics at Louisiana State University.[1]
Long studied mathematics and computer science at Tsinghua University, graduating in 1997.[2] She went to Pennsylvania State University for her graduate studies; her dissertation, Modularity of Elliptic Surfaces, she worked on with Noriko Yui, visiting from Queen's University, in her time as a graduate student. She was supervised and influenced by Wen-Ching Winnie Li.[3][2]
