Ming Tang is a Full Professor at the University of Cincinnati’s School of Architecture and Interior Design and the Director of UC’s eXtended Reality (XR) Lab. As a tenured professor within the College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning, he merges his architecture and digital technology expertise to push the boundaries of Architecture, engineering, construction (AEC), and simulated virtual environments.
Tang’s professional qualifications include being a registered architect, NCARB, and LEED AP. His leadership roles extend to the Institute for Research in Sensing (IRiS) leadership committee.
His research is characterized by a deep dive into extended reality, including Virtual and augmented reality, BIM-based digital twins, AI applications in the Metaverse, game-based learning, computational design, digital fabrication, and generative and performance-driven design. His work also encompasses human behavior analysis and simulation. Tang’s academic excellence is evident in securing $2 million in external funding, authorship of three books, publication of 70 peer-reviewed papers, and receipt of 41 prestigious awards.
- Improve communication and teamwork using Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Mixed Reality (MR).
- Employ digital twin technology, extensive reality capture, and the Metaverse to enhance learning through serious games.
- Apply human-computer interaction in simulated settings across education, healthcare, safety, and workforce training.
- Use Digital Humans, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), Reinforcement Learning (RL), and Large Language Models (LLM) with performance metrics to evaluate human activities in Extended Reality (XR) environments.
- Incorporate computational design, digital fabrication, and generative design in Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC).
Before his tenure at the University of Cincinnati, Tang held several positions, including the Director of the Electronic Design program and a professorship in the Architecture Department at Savannah College of Art and Design. His diverse working experience includes the MIND Lab at Michigan State University, the Institute for Creative Technologies at the University of Southern California, and the China Architecture Design & Research Group.
Tang’s educational background is as varied as his professional experience. He holds a Master of Architecture Degree from Tsinghua University, a Master of Arts in Digital Media and Technology from Michigan State University, and a Master of Fine Arts in Interactive and Game Design from Savannah College of Art and Design. Additionally, he is a founding partner of TYA Design.
