Ying Luo was a visiting scholar at Emory Law during the 2010-2011 academic year, working under the supervision of Professor Martha Fineman. She is a PhD candidate in Central South University from China. She received master's and bachelor's degrees in law from China's Wuhan University Law School in 2007 and 2004, respectively.

Luo is interested in feminism and administrative law. She assisted her teacher Li Ao, who is one of China's leading scholars in Gender Discrimination, in carrying out the project on “Gender Discrimination and Public Education” in Whuan University's Research Center for Legal Clinic Education during 2006 to 2007. This project was in cooperation with George Washington University Law School. In this project, she took charge of the social survey section. She launched a national survey on the present situation of the gender discrimination, and wrote a social report about gender discrimination in China, which was published by Chinese Social Science Publishing Company in 2008.

Her research at Emory Law School will focus on the government’s duty to prohibit gender discrimination. She will make a comparative study of American law and Chinese law, and explore a method to eliminate gender discrimination, especially in public administration. She also will clarify the government's approach in relation to the specific duties on prohibiting gender discrimination to eliminate gender discrimination and promote individual equality.
