About
Update: I have moved to https://shermanyuen.github.io. Please update your bookmarks.
I am a PhD student in the School of Computing
at the National University of Singapore,
under the supervision of Warut Suksompong.
I am currently researching on fair division of resources,
an area at the intersection of computer science, economics, and mathematics.
I completed my bachelor's degree in mathematics and my master's degree in computing at the
National University of Singapore.
Previously, I worked as a teacher in secondary schools and junior colleges within the
Ministry of Education, teaching mainly mathematics.
I also worked as a tutor at the National University of Singapore,
teaching undergraduate classes in computer science.

Teaching
I believe that the teacher plays a huge role in helping students learn. As such, I strive to be an inspiring teacher for my students whenever I have the opportunity to teach them. In recognition of my efforts, I was awarded the Association of Mathematics Educators Book Prize in 2017 and the Full-Time Teaching Assistant Award in AY 2021/2022.
Here are some teaching feedback given by students from NUS whom I have taught over the years. The survey was conducted anonymously, so I do not know who the students are.
