Warren Christensen

Warren Christensen is an Associate Professor of Physics at North Dakota State University, specializing in physics education research. His work examines how students learn concepts at the intersection of physics and mathematics, particularly calculus applications in thermodynamics. He leads collaborative projects on curriculum development and pedagogical strategies.

Research investigates student understanding of mathematical concepts in physics contexts, including multivariable calculus applications in quantum mechanics and thermodynamics. Recent NSF-funded projects focus on scaffolding mathematical reasoning in physics courses and analyzing epistemic framing in classroom discourse.
