Assistant Professor Antonio Martinez with graduate student researcher Gabriel Fanucchi.

Dr. Antonio Martinez is an assistant professor in the Mathematics and Statistics Department. Dr. Martinez and his student researchers study the intersection of how mathematicians and computer scientists approach complex computational problems.

Encompassing topics like logic, set theory, number theory, combinatorics, iteration, recursion, graph theory and more, students on Dr. Martinez's research team aim to gain insight into how computer science students and mathematics students approach similar problems differently.

One aim of this work is to identify effective cognitive strategies within each discipline, with the broader goal of interdisciplinary learning and enhanced quality of mathematics education.
