Education and career

Fan is originally from a small village on the coast of East China, the daughter of a teacher and a hydraulic engineer. [2] She studied electrical engineering at Southeast University in Nanjing, earning bachelor's and master's degrees in 1994 and 1997 respectively. She came to the US as a doctoral student at West Virginia University, where she completed her Ph.D. in 2001. [1]

After six years working for the industry at Midwest ISO, a nonprofit energy transmission organization based in St. Paul, Minnesota, [1] [2] Lingling joined North Dakota State University as an assistant professor in 2007. [1] She moved to the University of South Florida in 2009, [2] and is a full professor there. [1]

In 2020, she became editor-in-chief of IEEE Electrification Magazine. [1] [3]
