Ling Long is a Chinese mathematician whose research concerns modular forms, elliptic surfaces, and dessins d'enfants,[1][2] as well as number theory in general. She is a professor of mathematics at Louisiana State University.[3]
Early life and education
[edit]Long studied mathematics, computer science, and engineering at Tsinghua University, graduating in 1997.[1] 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 Winnie Li[4][1].
Career
[edit]After postdoctoral research at the Institute for Advanced Study, Long joined the faculty at Iowa State University in 2003. After a year at Cornell University in 2012–2013, she moved to Louisiana State.
Recognition
[edit]Long was the 2012–2013 winner of the Ruth I. Michler Memorial Prize of the Association for Women in Mathematics.[1][2] She was named to the 2023 class of Fellows of the American Mathematical Society, "for contributions to hypergeometric arithmetic, noncongruence Modular Forms, and supercongruences".[5]
She is included in a deck of playing cards featuring notable women mathematicians published by the Association for Women in Mathematics.[6]
