Eleni Tzanaki is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics & Applied Mathematics at the University of Crete, Greece. Her office is located in room Δ330 at the Voutes Campus in Heraklion. She can be contacted via telephone at +30-2810-393747 or by email at etzanaki@uoc.gr. Her academic work spans both pure mathematics and educational research, with a particular focus on algebraic and geometric combinatorics as well as innovative approaches to science and physics education. Dr. Tzanaki's research interests center on algebraic and geometric combinatorics, with specific focus areas including: Combinatorics of Coxeter groups Hyperplane Arrangements Polytopes Poset structures, lattices, and patterns Real rootedness of polynomials Her publication record demonstrates a dual research trajectory. From 2016-2021, her work was predominantly in pure combinatorial mathematics, focusing on hyperplane arrangements, lattice paths, and combinatorial structures related to Coxeter groups. More recently (2022-2025), she has expanded her research to include educational applications, particularly examining how artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT can be effectively integrated into junior high school physics education. This interdisciplinary approach connects her mathematical expertise with practical educational challenges, exploring innovative teaching methods like flipped classrooms and escape-room activities. Dr. Tzanaki appears to be actively involved in interdisciplinary collaborations that bridge mathematics, computer science, and education. Her work on fractal geometry across science, computer science, and art lessons demonstrates her commitment to cross-disciplinary approaches. She is investigating how emerging AI technologies can enhance physics instruction and address student misconceptions in areas like hydrostatic pressure and buoyancy, while maintaining her foundational work in combinatorial mathematics.
