Dr. Jaepil (JP) Han is a mathematics education scholar whose research examines how teachers design and enact mathematically meaningful learning experiences, with a particular focus on curricular reasoning and problem posing. He began his academic path at the University of Georgia, earning an M.A. in Mathematics Education, and continued at the University of Missouri, where he completed his Ph.D. in Learning, Teaching, and Curriculum. Following his doctoral work, he joined the University of Delaware as a Postdoctoral Researcher on the NSF-funded project Supporting Teachers to Teach Mathematics Through Problem Posing (PI: Dr. Jinfa Cai).

 

Dr. Han’s career is also grounded in his experiences as a middle school mathematics teacher in both South Korea and the United States. These classroom perspectives continue to inform his scholarship and collaborations with educators.

 

He regularly shares his work at national and international conferences, including the American Educational Research Association (AERA), the Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators (AMTE), the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM), and the North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education (PME-NA). His research has been published in leading journals, including The Journal of Mathematical Behavior, Teaching and Teacher Education, ZDM – Mathematics Education, and the International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology.
