Christopher Abbandonato

Christopher Abbandonato is an applied mathematician whose research interests are in two categories, mathematical biology and mathematics education. In mathematical biology, Christopher has studied different mathematical and biological models: a model that examines the impact of spruce budworm outbreaks in forests and a model that examines spatial variability in soft-shell clam recruitment. In mathematics education, he is interested in developing ways to engage students in the learning of STEM at the K–12 and post-secondary levels.

Christopher has been a mathematics and science teacher at the middle school level since 2010 and has developed outreach projects that allow his students to explore mathematics and STEM education at an inquiry/discovery based level.
