Milena Damrau

Milena Damrau is a researcher at the Department of Mathematics Education within the Faculty of Mathematics, Informatics and Statistics at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (LMU). Her work focuses on how students develop mathematical competencies, particularly in proof validation and understanding general validity, while integrating technology-oriented approaches into teacher professional development.

• Research Focus: Mathematical proof comprehension, digital media integration in instruction, Bayesian reasoning education
• Projects: Contributor to the SFB-Transregio 419 SHARP on simulation-based learning and the KoKon project on digital tool utilization
• Recent Publications: Explored proof validation in secondary education, covariational reasoning in Bayesian tasks, and instructional quality profiles with digital tools

Her research trends emphasize bridging cognitive development with didactic strategies, leveraging simulations for diagnostic competency training, and addressing student errors in probabilistic visualization. She collaborates across disciplines with biologists, medical educators, and psychologists in the SHARP initiative.

Network: Active in international conferences (PME, EARLI, GDM) and local teacher training programs, including the LMU-NYU cooperation on adaptive simulations.
