J. Enrique Hernández-Zavaleta

Having spent over twelve years as a high school and undergraduate mathematics teacher, more than a decade of experience designing and implementing international workshops for K-12 teachers on various topics related to mathematics, technology, and STEM, and more than three years leading and developing postdoctoral projects in US and Canada funded by the NSF, he has honed his skills in working with students and teachers encouraging an interdisciplinary approach to mathematics education that will effectively prepare tomorrow’s leaders in mathematics classrooms.

In his spare time he enjoys board games, video games, playing the guitar, and outdoor activities including biking, skating, camping, and hiking.
