Joined NCSSM in August 2026

Shuya Yu is an Instructor of Mathematics at NCSSM-Morganton. Before joining NCSSM, he taught all levels of mathematics courses at the University of Delaware and Texas A&M University. He earned his PhD in mathematics from the University of Delaware, where his research focused on high-dimensional probability, convex geometry, information theory, and random matrix theory. He has a particular interest in teaching advanced mathematics and enjoys supporting students as they develop the confidence and independence needed to pursue their own research questions. In the classroom, Shuya values careful reasoning, conceptual understanding, and strong computational skills, and he hopes to help students see mathematics as both a rigorous discipline and a creative form of inquiry. Outside of mathematics, he enjoys reading, traveling, collecting books, spending time with his two cats, and appreciating the occasional well-placed mathematical joke.
