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.
