Luzia Hofer

Luzia Hofer is a Researcher at the Department of Mathematics Education within the Mathematical Institute of Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich (LMU), based at Theresienstr. 39, room 222, Munich. Her contact details include telephone +49 (0)89 2180-4562 and email lhofer@math.lmu.de, with a professional profile hosted at LMU's Mathematics Education pages.

Her research focuses on Mathematics Education, particularly Statistics Education and Teacher Training, as part of LMU's Mathematics Education Group. This team investigates mathematical cognition across age groups, proof understanding, and digital tool integration in instruction. Dr. Hofer actively contributes to practical outreach, such as leading the MathLab workshop for high school teachers at the April 2024 Fachkongress Mathematik, Physik, Informatik conference, emphasizing hands-on educational approaches.

The group collaborates on major initiatives like the upcoming SFB-Transregio 419 SHARP project (starting October 2025), which uses AI-driven simulations to advance competency diagnostics in higher education. They also operate the MathLearnLab, relaunched in summer 2025. While Dr. Hofer's specific grants or student advising aren't detailed in the text, the team engages in systemic teacher training partnerships with TUM School of Education and Munich-area schools, focusing on curriculum coherence and diagnostic skills development.
