Filippo Mangolini
Filippo is an Assistant Professor in the Walker Department of Mechanical Engineering. His interdisciplinary research activities aim to develop a fundamental understanding of the chemical and physical processes occurring on material surfaces as well as at interfaces under extreme environments and far-from-equilibrium conditions. Filippo teaches courses on Materials Engineering, Enhancing Sustainability through Tribology, Phase Transformations, and Advanced Methods in Surface Analysis. Filippo's PTF work involves the creation and implementation of computational modules in two undergraduate/graduate courses in Materials Science and Engineering with the aim of developing computational competencies as a new core literacy for students.
Implementing Computational Modules into the Materials Science and Engineering Undergraduate and Graduate Curricula
The development of increasingly powerful computational resources has made computational competencies new core forms of literacy that should be formed as part of basic education across all STEM fields.
