Prof. Picozzi teaches most graduate courses in the Materials Science and Engineering Master’s Program, as well as some undergraduate/graduate courses in Mechanical Engineering and Electrical Engineering & Computer Science. He serves as Associate Director of Materials Science and Engineering, and Director of the Additive Manufacturing Laboratory. Prof. Picozzi’s research activities have included nanotechnology, stress and fracture in solids, statistical and nuclear physics, and applications of physics to economics and finance. Currently he is involved in helping establish a research program in Additive Manufacturing, and he has been developing and offering courses on the subject. He has also been developing and offering new courses in Electrical Engineering. Additionally, Prof. Picozzi serves the School of Engineering in areas such as mentoring, recruitment, and outreach.
