Dr. Ying Wang is an Associate Professor and doctoral supervisor at the Software College of Northeastern University (China), where she has been working since February 2019. She serves as Assistant Dean at the School of Software and is an active member of several CCF committees including the System Software Committee, Software Engineering Committee, Open Source Development Committee, and Women's Committee.

Dr. Wang received her Ph.D. in Software Engineering from Northeastern University in January 2019 under the supervision of Professor Zhiliang Zhu. She completed postdoctoral research at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) from 2022 to 2023 under Professor Shing-Chi Cheung and was a visiting scholar at Microsoft Research Asia through the StarTrack Program in 2021.

Her research focuses on intelligent software development technologies, large AI models, open source software big data analysis, and software supply chain security. She has made significant contributions to the governance of open source software ecosystems across multiple programming languages including Java, C#, Python, Go, JavaScript, Android, and Rust. Her work has led to the development of practical tools like 'League of Legends' for monitoring dependency defects in open source ecosystems, with several technologies commercialized by Huawei and Microsoft.

Dr. Wang's recent publications demonstrate her expertise in cross-language dependencies, software component analysis, software refactoring, and the application of large language models in software engineering. Her work spans both theoretical foundations and practical applications, with a strong emphasis on real-world impact through industry collaboration.

Among her notable achievements are the ACM SIGSOFT Distinguished Paper Awards at ICSE 2021 and ESEC/FSE 2023, making her the first researcher from Northeastern University to receive this honor. She has also received multiple awards for her doctoral dissertation and prototype implementations.

Dr. Wang actively contributes to the academic community as an Associate Editor for IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering and serves on program committees for top conferences including ASE, ICSE, and ESEC/FSE. She mentors a large group of doctoral and master's students, with many alumni securing positions at major technology companies including Huawei, Microsoft, Alibaba, and Tencent.
