[biography]
is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Computer and Information Technology at Purdue University West Lafayette. Magana’s research interests are centered on the integration of cyberinfrastructure, computation, and computational tools and methods to: (a) leverage the understanding of complex phenomena in science and engineering and (b) support scientific inquiry learning and innovation. Specific efforts focus on studying cyberinfrastructure affordances and identifying how to incorporate advances from the learning sciences into authoring curriculum, assessment, and learning materials to appropriately support learning processes.
Michael Falk is an Associate Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at Johns Hopkins University with joint appointments in the department of Mechanical Engineering and the department of Physics and Astronomy. He earned his Ph.D. in theoretical physics from UC Santa Barbara in 1998. His primary research area is computational materials science as applied to understanding non-equilibrium properties such as failure modes and plasticity in amorphous metals, phase transformations in energy storage materials, and the nanoscale origins of friction. His educational activities include studies of the effect of integrating computation into engineering curriculum and leading STEM Achievement in Baltimore Elementary Schools (SABES) an NSF funded community based STEM enhancement effort for grades 3-5 in three Baltimore city neighborhoods.
Michael Reese is the Associate Director at the Johns Hopkins Center for Educational Resources. Reese previously worked as an Educational Technologist at Caliber Learning and Booz-Allen and Hamilton. He also consulted with the University of Maryland School of Nursing on the launch of their distance education program. He earned an M.Ed. in educational technology from the University of Virginia and a B.S. in electrical engineering at Virginia Tech, where he was named the Paul E. Torgersen Leadership Scholar.
Master of Engineering from Universidad Eafit.
Doctoral student in Computer and Information Technology at Purdue University.
Research interests include Computing Education, Computational Thinking and Educational Technologies.
