About

Hello, my name is Johan Cristobal. I am currently a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Mathematics, Statistics and Data Sciene Department of Loyola Marymount University! I recently graduated with my PhD in Mathematics from University of Nebraska-Lincoln! I was advised by Dr. Yvonne Lai and you can read more about her at her website. If you'd like to hear about my dissertation, a recording of the defense is available on my YouTube!

I bring an interdisciplinary approach to my research, teaching, and mentorship. I aim to understand more about instructors' and students' frames of teaching and learning of mathematics in post-secondary contexts. I believe that by understanding how our students have framed their own learning, we (as instructors) can better enact critical and culturally relevant pedagogies which the students can identify as useful, encouraging, and supportive.
