About
Hello, I'm Yuqing Zhu, PhD, based in Los Angeles, training and practicing as an educator, neuroscientist, and visual artist. I was born in Yangzhou, China in 1995, and most recently I called Chicago home.
​
Science: I'm a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Neuroscience Department at Pomona College. Check out my research lab site!
​
Much of my work in both art and science is inspired by literature. Juan Rulfo, Roberto Bolaño, and Kurt Vonnegut are my favorite writers.
