Maryna Lishchynska

Maryna Lishchynska is a Lecturer in the Department of Mathematics at Munster Technological University (MTU). She specializes in teaching mathematics across Level 8 Engineering programmes, including Mechanical, Biomedical, Chemical, and Structural Engineering at years 2, 3, and 4. Holding a PhD in Engineering and an MSc in Applied Mathematics, her research focuses on third-level mathematics education and computational modeling.

Her educational background includes a Master's in Applied Mathematics and a Doctorate in Engineering, reflecting her interdisciplinary expertise. Her research bridges educational theory and practice, with a recent emphasis on student motivation, self-concept, and digital learning resources in mathematics education. Earlier work explored computational modeling in micromechanical systems and behavioral analysis.

Publications highlight trends in service mathematics modules, pandemic-era teaching challenges, and student perceptions of digital tools. Her collaborations include projects like the Transposition Initiative, investigating equation manipulation and peer learning dynamics. Though no awards or grants are explicitly mentioned, her active research and teaching roles underscore her contributions to mathematics education innovation.

Maryna collaborates with colleagues such as C. Palmer, D. O’Connor, and V. Morari on pedagogical research. Her work addresses both practical classroom strategies and broader systemic issues in mathematics education, particularly in non-specialist contexts.
