Summary
Lijing Wang is an Assistant Professor and former Stanford Ph.D. candidate who applies data-driven and Bayesian methods to make groundwater exploration and management more efficient and sustainable. With a decade of experience spanning academia, national labs, and industry collaborations (including Berkeley Lab and Total), she specializes in geomodelling from electromagnetic imagery using computer vision and rigorous uncertainty quantification for reservoir prediction and decision making. She teaches and designs data science curricula for geoscience audiences and has mentored across programs like Stanford Data Science for Social Good and Frontier Development Lab. Her background in applied mathematics, space physics, and a CS minor informs a rare blend of statistical rigor, machine learning, and domain knowledge in subsurface hydrology. Colleagues note she bridges model-data integration in practice — turning noisy geophysical measurements into actionable, uncertainty-aware groundwater strategies.
