Biying Ling holds a PhD in Conceptual and Historical Studies of Sciences at the University of Chicago. In her dissertation "How ‘Quantity' Disappeared from Philosophies of Measurement: Perspectives from 19th century Sciences,” she researched the interaction between 19th century sciences and philosophy, particularly how 19th century thought and experimental sciences shaped the way the foundation of measurement was understood. More broadly, Ling studies the history of philosophy of science, experimentation, measurement, Hermann von Helmholtz, and 19th century sciences.
