About Me
Hi everyone, my name is Hao Yuan. I earned my Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from UC Irvine and I’ve been teaching math, physics, computer science, and statistics for more than eight years. I enjoy making difficult concepts easier to understand and showing how they connect to real-world problems. Outside of teaching, I like exploring new ideas in science and technology, and I’m always excited to see students grow in confidence as they master challenging topics.
