​Dr. Yuanyuan Peng

Biography

Dr. Peng was born in a small city in the North of China, whose name is ShiJiaZhuang. He spent four years at Xian University, where he obtained his Bachelor's Degree. From there. Dr. Peng decided to further his education by obtaining a Ph. D at a university in the US. He feels lucky to have spent five years at North Carolina State University, where he received strict and systematic training in Mathematics.

Those five years were a busy and beneficial period for Dr. Peng. During this time he chose his research topics and investigated many interesting mathematics problems.

Dr. Peng has been teaching mathematics at Claflin for 6 years, which began in 2010. Studying and teaching in these years has endowed him with the capability to offer high-quality teaching.
