Fabiana Cardetti

Fabiana Cardetti is Professor of Mathematics at the University of Connecticut. Her research focuses on ways to improve the mathematics education of students and teachers. In particular, she works on examining learning experiences that provide opportunities for each learner to authentically engage in doing mathematics. Fabiana’s research work includes the design of such experiences as well as the study of their implementation, uptake, and subsequent revisions or refinement. In addition, she works collaboratively in interdisciplinary groups capitalizing on the synergy across different disciplines to investigate the enhancement of STEM education from Kindergarten to Graduate School. She currently leads or co-leads several projects supported by external funding agencies, including the National Science Foundation (NSF).
