Xing Yi Ling received her Ph.D. degree in Chemistry from University of Twente, the Netherlands in 2009, and her postdoctoral research at the University of California, Berkeley between 2009-2011. She joined Chemistry and Biological Chemistry division at Nanyang Technological University in 2011, where she was promoted to professor in 2021. Xing Yi is a Fellow of The Royal Society of Chemistry, and received Singapore National Research Foundation Investigatorship, Nanyang Award for Innovation & Entrepreneurship, L'ORÉAL Singapore for Women in Science National Fellowship, Singapore National Research Foundation Fellowship, IUPAC Prize for Young Chemists, and etc. In January 2024, Xing Yi will resume the Editor-in-Chief position of the ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces and Applied Materials portfolio, a family of eight journals focused on materials, interfacial processes, and their applications. She is currently in the editorial boards of Angewandte Chemie, Chemistry of Materials, Nanoscale Horizons, Cell Reports Physical Science, ChemPlusChem. Her research focuses in using nanotechnology for fundamental studies and applications in environmental, healthcare, and catalysis fields. In particular, she is interested in self-assembling shape-controlled noble metal nanoparticles into superlattices to impart new structure-to-function properties and applications in surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS).
