Evelyn Sun, PhD
Lecturer, Department of Microbiology and Immunology, University of British Columbia
Evelyn Sun completed her PhD thesis on the characterization of surfing motility, a novel form of bacterial motility, in Pseudomonas aeruginosa under in vitro cystic fibrosis mimicking conditions. During her PhD, she became passionate about teaching and the scholarship of teaching and learning. She completed a teaching as research (TAR) project on the effects of a first-year science communication course on students’ science literacy funded by the Center for the Integration of Research, Teaching and Learning (CIRTL). She did her post-doctoral teaching fellowship in the department working with teaching faculty to create a suite of course-based undergraduate experiences (CUREs) in both data science and wet lab research. She currently teaches MICB 211, Foundations in Microbiology, and MICB 475, Data Science Research in Microbiology and Immunology.
