Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Mark Goadrich's research interests encompass the development of computational tools and pedagogical methods for computer science education, with a particular focus on data structures and game theory. He has published work on "CS2Mulch: Physical Manipulatives for Teaching Advanced Data Structures," which explores the use of tangible objects to enhance student understanding of complex data structures. Another area of his work involves creating standardized testbeds for card games, such as "Valet: A Standardized Testbed of Traditional Imperfect-Information Card Games," and analyzing game variants, as seen in "Quantifying the Space of Hearts Variants."

Goadrich is also involved in broader educational initiatives. He serves as a Co-Principal Investigator on a significant National Science Foundation (NSF) grant totaling $2,499,998, titled "Expanding the Scientific Workforce in the Rural Regions of the Greater South Through Scholarships, Belonging, and Community Investment." This project aims to support and grow the scientific workforce in rural areas through scholarships and community investment.

His scholarly output is reflected in a h-index of 7, with 28 total publications and over 6,300 citations. Goadrich leads a research group and has collaborated with colleagues such as Collin Shaddox and Gabriel J. Ferrer at Hendrix College.
