Leslie Ying is an American biomedical engineering scientist in the field of medical imaging.

[2] From 2003 to 2011, Ying was an assistant and then associate professor of electrical engineering and computer science at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee.

[2] Her current work involves using parallel magnetic resonance imaging using multichannel receiver coils, sparsity / compressed sensing signal recovery, and super-resolution microscopy.

[4] She has published three open source Matlab code libraries: two-dimensional phase unwrapping, joint estimation of coil sensitivities and image in parallel imaging (JSENSE) packages, and Nonlinear GRAPPA: a kernel approach to parallel MRI reconstruction.

She was an editorial board member for Scientific Reports by Nature Research from 2016 to 2019 and for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine in 2012.
