Xinsheng Sean Ling (born February 15, 1964) is a Chinese-American physicist and Professor of Physics at Brown University.[1] He is known for his work in condensed matter physics, in particular for his contributions to solid-state physics, superconductivity, soft condensed matter, and quantum physics.[2][3] He has done postdoctoral research at Yale University and the NEC Research Institute. In 1998 and 2002, he was named an Alfred P. Sloan Fellow and Guggenheim Fellow respectively. He has been a Fellow of the American Physical Society since 2005.

From 2018 to 2021, he will serve as a visiting chair professor at Suzhou University and the president of the Institute of Advanced Study there, as part of the Thousand Talents Program in China.[4][5]

He was also given a distinguished professorship at the university along with Nobel laureate Michael Kosterlitz.[6][7]

He is the founder of Nabsys, a tech company focused on DNA sequencing.[8][9][10][11][12][13] The company received significant media attention and support from political and business leaders, including support from Gina Raimondo's Point Judith Capital and Brown University.[14][15][16][17][18] Nabsys was also featured in Governor Raimondo's campaign ads.[19][20] The company listed Nobel laureates Leon Cooper, Steven Chu, and Ray Stata as board members.[21][22][23][24][25][26][27] The company also counts Governor Gina Raimondo, Stan Rose, Leroy Hood, and Paul Chaikin among its board members.[28][29]
