Hi, I'm Ming!

I’m an Assistant Teaching Professor at UC San Diego, in the Department of Cell and Developmental Biology. As a teaching-focused faculty member, my primary role (and passion) is teaching and designing undergraduate courses. I also research how students develop mechanistic reasoning and visual literacy, and I develop curricular materials to equip biologists with programming and quantitative skills. I love being in the classroom, and I care deeply about building a culture of joy and inclusion in my classes.
