Bartu Bingol

Bartu Bingol is an Assistant Teaching Professor in the School of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences at Arizona State University. He earned his Ph.D. in Mathematics from University of Massachusetts Amherst in 2025, where his research focused on number theory, particularly modular forms and deformations of Galois representations.

In addition to his work in pure mathematics, Bingol conducts research in mathematics education with a focus on instruction methods and student motivation. He is interested in how the way mathematics is taught, from the structure of a classroom to the phrasing of problems, influences student engagement, persistence, and attitudes toward the subject. His recent work, published in the Journal of Creative Behavior, examines how instructional design can encourage originality and deeper problem solving. At UMass Amherst, he created and taught The Art of Thinking: Big Picture of Mathematics, a seminar class that integrated puzzles, games, and open-ended problems to help students experience mathematics as a creative discipline.

Bingol has taught a wide range of undergraduate courses, including Precalculus, Calculus I-II, and Linear Algebra, at UMass Amherst and Mount Holyoke College. He has also supervised undergraduate research projects and organized math clubs, reading groups, and graduate seminars. Beyond the classroom, Bingol has applied data science methods to projects on socioeconomic inequality, veteran outcomes, and election modeling in Turkey. 

At ASU, Bingol looks forward to creating welcoming and engaging learning experiences where students can strengthen their technical skills, find motivation in the subject, and discover mathematics as a field full of creativity and possibility.
