Nathan Warnberg

Nathan Warnberg is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematics & Statistics at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse. He holds a Ph.D. in Mathematics (with a Physics minor) from Iowa State University and a B.S. in Mathematics from the University of Wisconsin-Platteville. His research focuses on combinatorial matrix theory, Anti-Ramsey Theory, and Graph Theory, with notable contributions to topics like zero forcing, anti-van der Waerden numbers, and rainbow colorings.

Warnberg’s academic journey includes roles as a Graduate Teaching Assistant and Lead Teaching Assistant at Iowa State University before joining UW-La Crosse in 2014. He teaches courses such as College Algebra, Calculus I, Linear Algebra, and Graph Theory. His work emphasizes student-centered learning and fostering independent learners through innovative classroom activities.

His research publications span journals like Graphs and Combinatorics, Discrete Applied Mathematics, and Journal of Combinatorics, with a focus on graph theory applications in combinatorial structures. He has co-authored papers on anti-Ramsey variants, propagation dynamics, and network resilience.

Warnberg has received recognition for teaching excellence and inclusive pedagogy, including the Teaching Award and Inclusive Teaching Award. Beyond academia, he contributed to designing an anti-racist education workshop for fostering equitable classroom environments.
