Frode Rønning

Frode Rønning is a Professor at the Department of Mathematical Sciences within the Faculty of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). His career spans over three decades, with a cand.scient. (1982) and dr.scient. (1989) in complex analysis from NTNU. He is also recognized as a Lecturer by Merit since 2022, highlighting his pedagogical contributions.

• Vice-President of the European Society for Research in Mathematics Education (ERME) (2021–)
• Member of the Wissenschaftlicher Beirat for Kompetenzzentrum Hochschuldidaktik Mathematik (2018–)
• Board member of MatRIC (2014–2024) and MaScE (2021–)
• Editorial board member for journals like Mathematical Thinking and Learning, International Journal of Research in Undergraduate Mathematics Education, and NOMAD

Rønning's research focuses on geometric function theory, university mathematics education, and language development in mathematics. His recent projects, such as CiviMatics (2020–2023) and ACT! (2018–2020), explore interdisciplinary modeling, civic education, and active learning in engineering mathematics. He emphasizes the integration of mathematical concepts into engineering curricula and addresses challenges in multilingual classrooms.

His publications from 2017–2024 reveal trends in didactical modeling, praxeological theory, and language barriers in mathematics. Key subfields include curriculum design, geometric cognition, and interdisciplinary pedagogy. Rønning also contributes to editorial boards and international committees, including the ICME14 and CMFT21 program committees.
