UNCW Professor of Mathematics and Statistics Yaw Chang is one of 124 faculty, scientists and administrators recognized by the National Academy of Inventors for fostering an inclusive culture of innovation and invention on their campuses. The 2024 Class of Senior Members hail from 60 NAI member institutions across the nation.
He joins fellow faculty members Drs. Karl Ricanek (computer science) and Yishi Wang (mathematics and statistics) as NAI senior members.
Dr. Chang arrived at UNCW in 1989, shortly after the department created a master’s in mathematics. “It gave me the chance to grow with a new program,” he said.
He considers it a privilege to see UNCW grow from a regional comprehensive university to a nationally recognized university with high research activity.
“I am fortunate to work with a group of outstanding faculty at UNCW. Many thanks to Drs. Cuixian Chen, Karl Ricanek and Yishi Wang.”
The 2024 senior members will be celebrated at NAI’s annual conference in June in Raleigh.
