Lingling Ye is an Associate Professor in the Department of Earth and Space Sciences at Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech). She graduated from the University of Science and Technology of China in 2008 and received a master's degree from the Institute of Geology and Geophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2011. She received her Ph.D. degree from the University of California, Santa Cruz in 2015, and then worked as the Director's postdoctoral fellow in the Seismology Laboratory at California Institute of Technology. She returned to China at the end of 2017 as a Full Professor at Sun Yat-sen University. She joined SUSTech in March 2021. Her research focuses on the rupture process and physics of global earthquakes, the deep structure of the earth, and understanding the mechanism for natural disasters such as volcanoes, landslides, and tsunamis. She has published more than 50 peer-reviewed papers since 2011 in journals like Science, Science Advances, EPSL, JGR-Solid Earth, GRL, and so on. She was the recipient of the Keiiti Aki Young Seismologist Award from American Geophysics Union in 2018.
