Ying is a postdoc in the Department of Civil Engineering and the Department of Earth & Planetary Sciences at the Johns Hopkins University. She gained her Ph.D. in Civil & Environmental Engineering from the University of Wisconsin-Madison before joining JHU in 2017.

Her research is centered on using systems-based approaches to guide better decision making in water-related activities and ultimately optimize the benefit while reducing the risks. The scope of her research embraces multi-disciplines of climate science, hydrology, environment, energy, social science, economics, management and policy, etc.

Currently she is working on the NSF Innovations at the Nexus of Food, Energy and Water Systems (INFEWS) project to understand multi-scale resilience options for climate-vulnerable Africa.
