Yerkin Shaimerdenov joined SDU University in 2021 as Director of the Rector’s Office. He became a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Mathematics and Natural Sciences in January 2023 and now serves as an Assistant Professor, since November 2026. Before joining SDU, he taught mathematics at Bilim Innovation schools in Kazakhstan and worked as a mathematics teacher and school administrator in Nigeria. His research focuses on functional inequalities, stability, analysis on Lie groups, and applications to partial differential equations. His academic work combines international research collaboration with university mathematics teaching.
